Bracamonte Posted September 10, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2010 Did anyone notice that the station name fonts on the LIRR and MNRR are different? The LIRR station name font is thin and straight while the MNRR station name font is bold and slanted. Here are the examples: LIRR station name font http://www.subwaynut.com/lirr/montalk/montauk2.jpg MNRR station name font http://www.subwaynut.com/mnr/wassaic/wassaic5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Local Posted September 10, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 10, 2010 Does every station labels have something said, "(MTA) Long Island Rail Road" next to the station name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted September 11, 2010 Share #4 Posted September 11, 2010 the LIRR one is Medium Helvetica I believe, and the MNRR one is Helvetica Bold Italic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueensCzar248 Posted November 19, 2010 Share #5 Posted November 19, 2010 Yes, the LIRR uses Helvetica... while MNRR uses Helvetica Bold Oblique, in addition to some oddball Franklin Gothic signs at some rehabilitated stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted November 20, 2010 Share #7 Posted November 20, 2010 They both used "Standard Medium" similar to the 1970s subway signs. Some stations still have the old signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted November 20, 2010 Share #8 Posted November 20, 2010 This is as close as I can come to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted November 20, 2010 Share #9 Posted November 20, 2010 I had to try t his one out myself hehe This is what I got, barring the MTA logo. Arial Black using the faux italic option in photoshop and skewed slightly with the photo of that station sign as a refrence. Im not sure the exact font Metro North is using, it could be a Helvetica variant thats not easily attainable, ie one that comes with the commercial font package of Helvetica.
