ABC Social done with the Dinamo team in 2021 as a retail version of a custom typeface designed by Fabian Harb and Tina Gabriel for the Australian periodical The Monthly in 2017. Harb writes: Dinamo's co-founder Fabian Harb himself first penned ABC Social as the custom display font for The Monthly, Australia's left leaning independent periodical covering politics, society, and culture. Over many years and many time zones, our super team has now extended it in all directions and for widespread release: Malte Bentzen worked on the very light styles, Fabiola Mejía on its monospaced family, Wei Huang on the regular and bold styles, Erkin Karamemet on Italics, with Rob Janes completing the mastering and production work.
