Drawn in 2013–2014 as a digital facsimile of the type system
from the 1970 NYCTA
Graphics Standards Manual, and used for the
reprint edition by Standards Manual.
“The NYCTA Standard typeface is based specifically on the glyph
designs and spacing system shown in the 1970 New York City Transit
Authority Graphics Standards Manual. Digital versions of the
Standard typeface (or Akzidenz Grotesk, as it was also historically
known) existed previously, but the digital NYCTA Standard font
focuses on the design as it was rationalized and presented by
Unimark International for implementation in the NYCTA’s signage
system.” [specimen]
