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.

I was very impressed to see the working version of this page at DIBI this year - so true that the old version had the very thing you wanted information on, the VAT rate, hidden away! This is so much clearer and a great rework. Looking forward to seeing the new font in use
