  • This is the Character Set used in Singapore's lifts in HDB estates, currently installed under Shenyang Brilliant (branded as EM Services) and iFE. This character set was formerly installed on certain Mitsubishi, Sigma, and LG lifts as well. Other variants of 3, 4, 5, 6, B, M, P, R, ↑, and ↓, are found here, and are used in its new generation character set(s), but the original character sets will be preserved instead, but no new variants will be made, unlike Eleva 2. Oh and whoever did the weird letter 'R', guess what? That's a weird design I've never ever seen, and it's the worst ever. Unless HDB can swoon us with new designs, it's gonna stay this way.

    A warning to Singapore:
    There could be a potentiality that this font could be "censored" by those so-called "M4N1C4LLY SE9/C00C00-B4N4N45-0F-A-51N94P0R34N", in the event that they have reported (did, could have, or in the process of getting) this font as "potential infringement of the Copyright Act of 2021".

    Let me tell you something: I have my decision, and I will stand by it, in terms of:

    "Preservation of those display fonts sourced from those 112x16 and 48x16 displays on HDB lifts through this font-building website FontStruct."

    If there is any takedown request from anyone, even if it is from the mightiest of them all itself, the Housing & Development Board, I will rightly refuse.

    They have no right to ask me to take it down just because they think that this font, at their own extremely biased view, is a "potential infringement of any law(s) regarding infringement of copyright(s), patent(s), and/or trademark(s) as per regulations in Singapore (the Copyright Act of 2021) in itself".

    tl/dr: "I told you already every single time, you guys don't ask that to me. Okay? Are we clear about that? I have my reasons, and I stand by it."

    ​​​​​Because of them (whom they think that the intellectual property / copyright of this font belongs to Housing & Development Board, and the relevant lift companies.), this font will remain as "All Rights Reserved."

Unless the Housing and Development Board (HDB) can swoon us with new designs, it's gonna stay this way.

The FontStruction "Eleva 3" that is created and/or made available on this Site is the copyrighted work, as the case may be, of the respective creator mentioned above.

Fascinating! May I know how you're able to source the whole character set? Since the LED displays wouldn't normally display symbols. I do also recall they'd have like small caps for identifying block numbers, yeah?

Exactly. However, the uppercase and lowercase, especially the Latin-1 supplement characters were manually created by hand. 

Quote:
There exists new designs for digits 3, 4, uppercase B, M and P (2 designs, to be exact), and its arrows in its new generation character set(s).

I do also recall they'd have like small caps for identifying block numbers...
Of course. But I've done it in another font that is 7x13.
