  • his is a partial recreation of the character set that is used in the displays from the trains on the Circle Line (that LTA/SMRT Trains doesn't want you to have it).

    Fun fact: The Circle Line (CCL) was originally known as the Marina Line in the 1990s before it evolved into the orbital line we know today, through the merger of the Marina and the Outer Circle lines in April 2001.

    Note: The newly minted Alstom Metropolis C851E, debuted on 13 April 2026, uses the same font as the North-East Line, which is one fucking hell of a disappointment. It was originally planned to be a new font, which is going to be named as "Marina Two" (as seen on set 865 at the one of the C851E trainsets at the Singapore Rail Testing Centre), or for "Marina One" to be reused again since I liked the aesthetics of that "Marina One Origin" font, like the lowercase letters G (U+0067), J (U+006A), P (U+0070), Q (U+0071), and Y (U+0079), but never did we expect is that LTA reused the font that was exclusively meant for the North-East Line, for the Circle Line.

    My bleak confession: This goes to show that each identity of every train line in Singapore is being stripped apart, piece by piece, until there is nothing left to identify them anymore. Hope the Down Town font family won't meet the same fate…
