This is a newly minted font from my character set that will be used in the displays from the Alstom Metropolis C831E-series trains on the Circle Line.
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.
My bleak confession: 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. Never did we expect is that LTA reused the font that was exclusively meant for the North-East Line, for the Circle Line. 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...
It has come to our attention, that some of our fonts could have the potential to be flagged by someone to the Land Transport Authority to be "unauthorised" and "copyright-infringing" under the Copyright Act of 2021". This is not true, and is considered to be slanderously defamatory against the Font Designer, and FontStruct as a whole.
I have my decision, in terms of preservation of those display fonts sourced from buses across Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit transport system through this font-building website FontStruct, and I will stand by it, and I will rightly refuse any takedown request from anyone, even if it is from the mightiest of them all itself, the Land Transport Authority.
Caution: Any attempt(s) from any governing bodies in Singapore to get this font taken down, by the font provider, will be constituted as "an "immoral act of digital censorship" and as such, will be met with swift and brutal resistance.
