This is a little off-topic but, what was the font used on the Subway pilar signs during the 60s-80s? (not Standard Medium, the text being black and the sign plate background being white).

Here is my own R62 Rollsign, using ur R62 reference and other YT Videos to get it accurate. This was originally made by my friend TheProD3V and i reedited it accurately. From a reference on YT, the 5 in the diamond is sized barely touching each line and corner. What y'all think??

 

Also I allow anyone to use this

I'm back with the corrected R62/original R62A rollsign! 8 train has been removed.

Additionally, I also made the R62A rollsign versions that I'm aware about! The 1988 version is the most accurate as there are YouTube videos featuring it.

1988 R62A version:

2009 R62A version (features 1 train short turn destination route bullet experiment):

Latest R62A version (entire sign in Neue Haas Grotesk, Express text same color as bullet, NIS centered, year unsure):

Please give me some feedback, and any corrections that need to be made!

Also, here are the YouTube video reference links:

For that one, I used AG Old Face, the closest font to NYCTA Standard. I just found it online.

Noticed that people haven't posted here in a while, so I decided to give it a shot. Here's my recreation of the R62 rollsign (with some help from Some Train Enthusiast). I still need confirmation of some aspects of the rollsign, but this should capture most of it. Correct font for the bullets.

Its nice, but where do you download the Standard Medium Font?? I Was thinkinh of making my own.
