In Germany the font used since 1930 is DIN 1451, an acronym for Deutsches Institut fuer Normung. It was published by the D Stempel AG foundry and it's based on IV 44, a font used by the Prussian railroad Company since 1906. The only changes made to the IV 44 were the 't', '6' and '9' glyphs. DIN is also widely used in signaling in other countries such as United Arab Emirates.
