New Airport Dot revives lettering originally designed by Margaret Calvert / Kinneir, Calvert, Tuhill Ltd. around 1970 for the British Airports Authority, specifically for internally illuminated shop fascia signs — a distinct application from the directional signage associated with Gatwick Airport. The original existed as lowercase letters in a single weight only; the revival adds capitals, lining and non-lining numerals, and punctuation across five weights.
