Noisy Decent Graphics

Design and data (small example)

I said I'd tell you more about what we're up to at GDS. Here's a blog post detailing a small example of how we're using data and design at GDS.

I love seeing the teams in London (NDG Olympic series)

I wish more galleries would do this

New typeface for GOV.UK

I don't talk about GDS on here enough, do I? Will try to rectify that.

Last week we released the latest version with some design updates. The biggest one is that we've started using a new typeface. It's callled New Transport and is a digital version of Jock Kinnear and Margaret Calvert's Transport designed in the late fifties and still used on the UK road signs.

Margaret and Henrik Kubel have been working on a new digital version with 6 weights - the original had just one. 

We're proud to be the first people to use it.

I've written more about it on the GDS blog.
