Johnston Delf Smith (typeface)

Johnston Delf Smith (typeface)

Johnston Delf Smith is a humanist sans-serif typeface developed by Transport for London. It is based on a font developed in the 1920s by Percy Delf Smith for London Underground as a serif variation of the organisation's standard sans-serif Johnston font. The original typeface was used at 55 Broadway and examples can also be seen at Sudbury Town Underground station.

The new typeface is intended for use on the replacement of historical signs bearing the original version.
