Crossposted to UTL.

There is an outstanding article at

http://www.londonreconnections.com/2...d-johnston-100
/

I like the fact the article is set in the new font.

Sorry, meant Johnson New font.

Johnston 100, surely? New Johnston was the 1979 rework.

No. John Bull added later, in the comments:

"This article is set in New Johnston (i.e. the typeface first created
by Eiichi Kono). TfL were kind enough to grant us a one-off license
to use it on this specific article.

That in itself is an honour, as over its 100 year history you can
(quite literally) count the number of times an _official_ version of
Johnston has been sanctioned for use outside of a TfL/LU body on the
fingers of one hand.

Johnston100 is not used anywhere yet. It will debut in July."

Oh, OK. I made a mistake.
