Johnston100

Marking the centennial of Johnston, Transport for London’s iconic typeface, Monotype unveiled Johnston100 in July 2016. Months of work and research went into the process, intended to bring back the original flavour of the Edward Johnston’s 1916 design, while updating the typeface to embrace both contemporary typographic trends and new digital needs. We went behind the scenes with Monotype’s designers to discover the fascinating and rarely told story behind London’s most iconic type design.
