Because I'm such a fonthead.....
Jun. 29th, 2007 11:17 amLittle things bother me. Like when letters and numbers are turned upside down or flipped vertically on signs. I just happen to notice these things.
We have a graphic image on the website I work on that has a neat typeface. ("Font" and "typeface" aren't completely interchangeable; "font" implies a size whereas "typeface" does not.) I tried to find out what it was; it looks very British. I thought that it looks very similar to the typeface on the signs on the London Underground, and did a little digging. The typeface on the signs is called Johnston, after the designer. (An alternate name is "P22 London Underground".)
( But it's not quite right. )
