not_helveticaOur last post mentioned Helvetica, the ubiquitous font found throughout the New York City subway system. A long and wonderful writeup by Paul Shaw discusses the history of the NYC subway system’s use of the font in its attempts to unify its signage.

Meanwhile, an eagle-eyed reader sent in this image of a sign at the 8th Street NR platform. Although the sign appears to be new, the font is certainly not Helvetica.
