DIN for Typographic City Posters
Show how much you love your city with an Ork Poster, designed by Jenny Beorkrem. With the help of DIN (1451 Engschrift) these clever prints sideÂstep traÂdiÂtional maps and bring forth top-​notch typoÂgraphic design, simÂplicÂity, and a modern edge. Out with small type and in with DIN’s strong letter forms and bold personality.
CareÂful thought has been put into each of these designs. Beorkrem playÂfully crams and stacks charÂacÂters of all shapes and sizes into geoÂgraphic neighÂborÂhoods to porÂtray these bustling cities. The San FranÂcisco map can even be made “green” with recyÂcled papers and soy-​based inks. Ork posters are one of a kind and you won’t find these hiding in a glove compartment.
Priced between $22-$27, the posters and screen prints make a great holÂiÂday gift. They are one of the more affordÂable pieces of wall art availÂable, all while being very unique and eco-​friendly.



If you like DIN (1451 Engschrift), we recÂomÂmend you take a look at FF DIN. 1451 Engschrift is a pretty faithÂful digÂiÂtiÂzaÂtion of the origÂiÂnal DIN fonts. HowÂever, FF DIN is a bit more regÂuÂlarÂized for modern design, with more weights and widths. FF DIN is also a much larger collection.

I first saw Ms. Beokrem’s wonÂderÂful work around August/September and it inspired me to (rather laboÂriÂously) make a hand-​lettered ripoff—erm, version—of this using a map of my homeÂtown.
It didn’t turn out nearly as brilÂliant. PerÂhaps I should try it with FF DIN…
