LED lettering used by PTV (Public Transport Victoria) on the SmartBus boards for "how long until the next bus" information. I ride the bus to work each day, so these are pretty familiar, but I still had to guess some of them. I've left out some glyphs where they're just not useful (e.g. comma or quotation marks).

Something "fun". Inspired by the many journeys I've made and by train travels. And by my grandchildren's train toys. The angular design echoes small table tops we sometimes use to put the tracks on ...

UC is normal weight and is used in the sampler (font name). LC has some thicker lines for increased legibility although this font is only meant to illustrate concepts (travel, finding new ways, diversification etc) or for logos, shop signs, invitations and similar. Not simple enough for use in anything long or complex that has to be easily read.

Public transport & travel related icons. Most of these are designed to leave room above/below themselves for text while still fitting into a square canvas. So, they can more easily be used to create actual program icons, signs, etc.

This was my first icons font so it doesn't conform to the 10x10 standard I established later for fonts like Donjonikons...

A - Airplane

B - Bus

C - Cable Car

D - Dirigible

E - Escalator

F - "Phone" Sign

This san serif, textured, bold font is inspired by the old cast iron type on train carts. When I discovered the old train carts down at the 'Bristol Harbour Railway' I was fascinated by these incredible forms. To create the structure of these characters I worked from one of the rubbings I took of a particularly nice iron plate and then scanned it into the computer to replicate the letters which where missing. I then printed this on to graph paper and transferred the bricks one by one to try and get the most accurate representation as possible.This is a clone

As a font geek, I was quick to notice the lettering on the segmented signs used by the San Francisco Muni Metro trains. I thought, it would be cool to have a font of that. And I know the perfect tool to build it with.

inspired by an airport exit sign, this font is more than what it seems on the surface. At first, it might seem like a regular typeface, but when you look at the angles, they are sharp, and when you look at the curves, they are vertical. As a matter a fact, this font uses 2x vertical filtering to achieve these effects. It was very hard to make this font, and I think it looks beautiful.

Circa 1980 New York subway trains with Single-Letter Top-To-Bottom Whole Cars. Two cars on DeTrayne are dedicated to influential graffiti artists that have passed away way too soon. Dondi, from New York, was a master of readable and wildstyle letterforms, whole-car masterpieces, colorful backgrounds and characters. He was also a pioneer in taking his art from the subway to art galleries worldwide. Dondi passed on October 2, 1998 from complications from AIDS. On this day, Feb. 17, in the year 2000, legendary San Francisco Bay Area graffiti artist, Dream, was robbed and killed at gunpoint. It was a major loss, not just for the bay area, but the worldwide graffiti art community. One of Dream's most famous pieces, "Best of Both Worlds," displayed a mastery of two intricate west coast styles that raised the bar in defining a graffiti "king." A testament to his greatness is his memorial wall in Daly City that still stands untouched to this day, and includes tribute pieces from artists that have traveled from all over the world to contribute. It was a great honor to have worked on a music video that served as a tribute to Dream, and brought his family, friends, and his crew TDK together again for a celebration of his life and art. Graffiti art has been a major influence on me and every typographic creation I develop. Out of everything I've publicly shared, this fontstruction is the most meaningful and defining for me.
