About FF Dagny Pro
When DN transitioned to a tabloid format, a new typeface was created â DN Grotesk. Our inspiration came from old type specimens found in DN’s own historical archives. The typeface was designed to have higher contrast and a tall x-height. In these historical references, we discovered period-appropriate details that gave the new typeface character, such as a lowercase âfâ with a backward-leaning overhang. The typeface also saved valuable space by shortening both ascenders and descenders.
DN Grotesk was used in the newspaper for a period of ten years. When we regained the rights to it, it was given the name Dagny, a contraction of âDagens Nyheter.â It was launched by FontFont in 2009, and FF Dagny received the ISTD (International Society of Typographic Designers) International Typographic Award in 2011.
