Dinamo is a type design agency that offers retail and custom typefaces as well as design software and consulting services. From our Berlin studio, we colla­borate with a network of team members across the globe, oscil­lating between commercial and cultural projects of varying scales.

We are a group of graphic designers turned type designers, and we draw from our own expe­riences when designing fonts and pricing them. In 2020, we were proud to be the first foundry to implement a value-based licensing model, making the cost of our fonts fairer to companies small and big.

As well as producing the fonts in our retail library, we work closely with clients spanning art and culture, fashion, commerce, and tech­nology. Our Client Work page features examples of our services, including custom family design, bespoke custo­mizati- ons of our existing fonts, multi-script extensions, type tools and plugins, plus word mark and logo design.

Broadly speaking, research, expe­ri­men­tation, and colla­bo­ration are at the heart of our practice. We’re not just inte­rested in what’s happening in culture — we’re actively engaged in cultural conver­sations too, producing our own hardware products, bimonthly newsletter, and publi­cations on a regular basis.
