Designing the Transport Typeface
- n00bskoolbus 7mo agoJames May did a car "review" with Margaret Calvert years back in an episode of Top Gear. Was a bit of a departure from regular Top Gear but certainly interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDB3dpe3eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDB3dpe3eg

- fkealy 7mo agoI've found transport typography and design great to integrate into my ui designs. They're so universal and have accessibility built in it's great!
- qingcharles 7mo agoThese signs and the typeface are my gold standard. I've traveled to dozens of countries, and I still think the British signage is the cleanest and clearest in the world.
- ErroneousBosh 7mo agoQuite often temporary roadworks signage uses something "off brand" like Helvetica, and I actually want to deliberately break the temporary speed limit out of spite.
- tedd4u 7mo agoI love Transport and it absolutely evokes Britishness for me whenever I see it. The "Highway Gothic" [1] font used on US Interstate highways (and apparently also in Australia and Canada) is also pretty good I think and similarly evokes the open road in my mind.
