PCTL9600 shares its origins with PCTL4800—commissioned for a high-profile video game project as a DIN-inspired sans-serif with a forward-looking twist. While PCTL4800 carries its signature corner index notch, PCTL9600 strips away that detail for a clean, unembellished finish. The result is a typeface that retains the same technical precision and geometric discipline, but in a form that’s understated and universally applicable.
Built for environments where clarity is paramount, PCTL9600 handles the demands of modern design with ease. Six weights with matching italics ensure a full typographic toolkit, from light, airy captions to assertive headlines. Its optical balance and restrained proportions make it just as effective in small-scale UI elements as in large-format editorial layouts.
With broad language coverage—including most Latin-based European languages, Vietnamese, Greek, and an extensive range of Cyrillic—PCTL9600 is fluent in the language of global communication. It’s a smart choice for designers who value the precision and efficiency of DIN but want something tailored for today’s multi-platform, multi-lingual design challenges.
