Collaborating with Windlin, Pablo Desportes “experimented with
extruding the circular elements into rods of variable size and
rotating them. Depending on their length or direction, several of
the rods became conflated into strokes, potentially further
increasing or inhibiting legibility, often to near-hallucinogenic
effect or resulting in surprising geometrical patterns.” –

The revised and extended version was made available in 2021 as LL DTM, in nine styles (Regular, 0 Semi, 0 Full, 45 Semi, 45 Full, 90 Semi, 90 Full, 135 Semi, 135 Full) as well as in variable font format.
“A new variable axis was added for the 1.1 release in 2022, which now offers size adjustments of the modular elements, essentially providing an additional weight axis.” [Lineto] Renamed to LL DMT VIP.
