Subway Face
When did the New York City subway system begin using Helvetica for its signage, and why was the change made? Here’s an essay which explores the shared and intertwined histories of the New York City subway system, transportation signage in the 1960s, Unimark International, and, of course, Helvetica: The (Mostly) True Story of Helvetica and the New York City Subway.
Also, Joe Clark writes about Type in the Toronto Subway.
