ABOUT







Signus Limited

Type foundry in the UK active in the 1990s. It later became AIT. Type designers employed by them include Philip Kelly, David Quay and Freda Sack. The latter two made the New Johnston (or: NJ) family in 1992 that is used on the London Transport. They founded The Foundry. Some other foundries have taken their shots at designing their own emulations, such as ITC Johnston, P22 London Underground, Device English Grotesque, Jonathan Paterson's London Tube and the freeware font Paddington. Other Signus fonts include VanDerLeckAT (1993) and VandoesburgatPlain (1993), the last one being a pixel font.
