Asfalt's elongated, tightly-packed forms draw from the design of painted road letters, which are stretched to compensate for the low perspective of an approaching car. From a driver's seat, words like 'STOP' and 'GO' read perfectly compact. A stencilled version of road lettering from Niggli's mid-century Lettera series became the starting point for Dinamo's design, plus a design manual for road surface signage found by Fabian Harb in a thrift store in Rio de Janeiro. Asfalt comes in Compressed, Condensed, Normal, Extended, and Expanded widths stretching elegantly across Light, Regular, Medium, and Bold weights.
