Compare pages 4 and 7 of the Fares for 2004 leaflet. On the
Carnet advert the full stops and the dots on the "i"s do not
have straight sides; on the Oyster ad they do.

Ah yes. What is this typeface with the slightly concave sides on
the dots? Is it Johnston, or some dodgy copy?

Looking at the document in the full version of Acrobat (which
identifies embedded fonts) it seems that it uses a version of New
Johnston made for TFL, as the font name is NJTFL - it is used in
four versions:

NJTFL-Book, which has the concave dots and is used for body text.
NJTFL-Medium, straight-sided dots (used for lighter headings).
NJTFL-Bold, straight-sided dots (used for stronger headings).
NJTFL-BookBold, concave dots (used for bold in tables).

Thanks for this, Paul.


I've now found the LU Desktop Publishing standards, at
http://www.transportforlondon.gov.uk...Publishing.pdf
which say that New Johnston Book "has been designed specifically for
clarity and legibility at 12pt or below. It should not be used larger than
this. At sizes above 12pt, New Johnston Light should be used instead."

The only reason that the concave dots are visible in the Carnet advert on
page 7 is that an original image in New Johnston Book, probably 12pt, has
been enlarged as a graphic to about 36pt. This is a violation of the
publishing standards.
