Typeface Revival for British Rail

Revival of a British public wayfinding typeface deployed across hospitals, rail networks, and airports

New Rail Alphabet is a revival of the British Rail typeface originally designed by Margaret Calvert of Kinneir Calvert Associates in the early 1960s. The original was drawn in two versions as part of an integrated signing system, appearing first in UK National Health hospitals, then British Rail and Danish Rail stations, and subsequently all BAA airports. The revival is produced in six weights — Off White, White, Light, Medium, Bold, and Black — with corresponding italics, non-aligning numerals, and a subset of Eastern European characters.
