Jonathan Guy’s TTC posters
TTC Northbound
It’s always interesting to see examples of how people are using the Toronto Subway fonts.
On December 16, BlogTO posted an article on Toronto designer Jonathan Guy’s TTC posters. You can read the full BlogTO post here. Two of the posters use the Toronto Subway font, plus directional arrows, in a handsome white and black treatment that echoes the subway’s old wayfinding signage — one poster is for the Yonge line stations from Union to Bloor, the other is for the stations from Rosedale to Lawrence, including a nice extra “Exit and Buses” treatment. The third poster is a collage of actual TTC station signage.

Hi, just came across this blog.
I attended a performance of Harvey at the Shaw Festival this summer past. It was set in the 40′s. When the set for a mental hospital was unveiled, I was immediately struck by the directional signs: “Day Ward”, “Surgery” and so on. I grabbed my wife’s arm and said “Look! It’s the Toronto subway typeface!” She was unimpressed.
Good to see others love this typeface and are doing something to preserve it.
