Default Renewing tickets, P22 tube font

note, I noticed a while ago that the P22 tube font has
square commas, full stops, apostrophes etc instead of the
tilted square 'diamond' like ones. Does anyone know why this
is?

nope - sorry!


The P22 Johnston font is a representation of the original Johnston
font for LT. That font *DID* have the punctuation as you've
described.


Aha, I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Take a look at St. Pauls station, and above the platform exits
you'll see the square full stop.


Interesting. I'd noticed something similar at St. James's Park.
