For those who are interested in that sort of thing: it looks to me
as if the consultation brochure uses New Johnston Book, with the
curvy sided diamonds, for text larger than 12 point. Can anyone
confirm this?


Well spotted, Robin! Pasting from Acrobat Reader to Word reveals that
the page headings are in New Johnston Book Bold at 45pt. Although TfL's
"Desktop Publishing Standards" says that NJ Book was designed for 12pt
and below, and should not be used larger than this, it doesn't extend
the restriction to Book Bold, and the restriction isn't mentioned at all
in the TfL Corporate Publications Standards. So it seems that someone
has exploited a loophole.
