MTA NYCT: South Bklyn 7/7/09


Recommended Posts

About three weeks ago, I released photos of the MTA Bus side while on a solo busfanning trip in Brooklyn. Well, I finally stopped being lazy and completed uploading the NYCT side of my trip.

 

Here they are below.

I haven't seen this thin-letter font on a bus since the PBL days!

The zooms on the signs is due to my fascination of the bus signs since I was a little kid and my like for the mysterious typography on the Luminator signs. For a while, I've been trying to design a typeface from the letters, numbers, and punctuation based off these signs (thin type ranging from 5-pixel to 8-pixel; thick font from 5-pixel to 16-pixel), and I'm taking close pictures of the font so I could replicate them exactly the way you see them. Once I'm done creating the typography, I'll be releasing it on the forum.

 

BTW, thanks for the compliments, Mark1447 and CurAke79. ;)

Beautiful pics RTS especially, all 334794 of those RTS shots!

gotta love flip dots ;)

LOL! Glad you like the photos. And, yeah, the flip-dots ARE interesting, especially the older ones and the Luminators from 1994 to about 2003. Gives me a reason to see specific-sized fonts (like thin six-pixel fonts) that I haven't seen since the side-window flipdots on the private bus lines.
