Transport (not a typeface)
Episode 2
Saturday, 27 September, 2025
This episode we talk about Transport, which is not a typeface. We know this for sure because designer Margaret Calvert said so in an email to us. If you have ever driven anywhere you will know the (not a) typeface Transport, as it was purposefully designed for roads. What you may not know is that the typeface is just one part of an extensive information system designed to help us all get where we want to go. Hopefully without hitting deers or pedestrians along the way.In this episode Anitra gets way too excited about the DIN system, and wasn't embarrassed at all when Jason schooled her on what vulgar fractions are. See examples of Transport by driving down the road OR at our website thetypepod.orgYou can buy our book on Amazon (rated 5 stars!)
