About the family


This tall and condensed sans serif typeface is inspired by the early 1900s UK transport signage. Drawing influence from the iconic bus signs of double-decker vehicles, which displayed routes for passengers, its design embodies the essence of historic signage while integrating modern detailing and color to create a robust typeface suited for contemporary applications. Ideal for large-format print and headlines, this display font features a high x-height that guarantees consistent legibility at various scales and weights. Bold and playful, this bus sign-inspired typeface blends a rich heritage of over a century with a modern flair, making it a perfect choice for branding, editorial use, and web design. Embrace its unique character to elevate your projects with a font that balances tradition with a contemporary aesthetic.

About Applied Systems Design Studio

Applied System Design Studio is a design studio offering brand and type design services. Our self-initiated type design work takes inspiration from multiple historic and heritage letter forms. We aim to create unique typefaces through a curation of different styles that blend into something different. Our typefaces usually have meaning and a backstory that drives the design from concept through to completion. This can be from a political, social or historical foundation that we explore through letterforms and words.
