Johnston is the unified typeface used on information boards and signs on the London Underground. Its clear and somewhat friendly form has not only served as a public design, but has been familiar to people for over a century as a brand image that symbolizes the entire City of London.
This book introduces the life and work of Edward Johnston, the creator of the Johnston typeface, as well as the evolution of the typeface, which has undergone repeated updates since its creation in 1916, along with a wealth of illustrations from the London Transport Museum collection. This book allows you to experience the charm of Johnston's typeface, born from a tireless pursuit of beauty and simple clarity.
