Citywide’s letterforms draw from a bus roll sign I found at a flea market years ago. I’ve probably lost myself staring at that sign everyday since, thinking about how the type system works while trying to puzzle out some of the unusual choices. I love the little inconsistencies in proportions and strokes across widths, as well as its desire to be unambiguous, large, and legible from a distance.

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social I feel like there should be a law: any typeface that looks vaguely like Eurostile should have samples of “ENTERPRISE” and italic “STAR TREK”

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social Why is semiwide wider than wide and why stop at wide and not go wider and wider long face You horse?

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social This is great. I love the way that the appearance of certain glyphs can totally change the feel of a word but it still works like one typeface. You killed it!

Absolutely beautiful typeface. Feels truly timeless. Thank you for designing this!

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social JASON I love this! I have always been jealous of those signs and knew you had a couple. Did you write a blog about them 15 years ago or am I just imagining that?

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social That bus roll sign you got is fab! I’m fascinated by them - always wanted one, and when I saw a local one on eBay last year I had to buy it. Visions of hanging it in my tall stairwell. Not sure on the date but I love the typography and the destinations are where I grew up. Unfortunately the thing is *huge* and slightly too wide for the wall on the stair too! I really don’t want to cut it so I’m trying to find another spot for it even if it has to go on the ceiling 😁
