    These signs and the typeface are my gold standard. I've traveled to dozens of countries, and I still think the British signage is the cleanest and clearest in the world.

    James May did a car "review" with Margaret Calvert years back in an episode of Top Gear. Was a bit of a departure from regular Top Gear but certainly interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDB3dpe3eg

      This is bloody brilliant. Classic Top Gear. Thank you.

    I love Transport and it absolutely evokes Britishness for me whenever I see it. The "Highway Gothic" [1] font used on US Interstate highways (and apparently also in Australia and Canada) is also pretty good I think and similarly evokes the open road in my mind.

    I've found transport typography and design great to integrate into my ui designs. They're so universal and have accessibility built in it's great!
