New Johnston

The Johnston typeface has undergone many changes since it was developed for London Underground by Edward Johnston in 1916.

As the font associated with London’s transport network for nearly a century, TfL is keen to ensure the Johnston family of fonts is used in a consistent and controlled way.

TfL owns design and copyrights for all cuts of the New Johnston font. Application for a copy is only available by completing one of the license request forms:

New Johnston - developed for use across TfL's transport network
Johnston Delf Smith - developed for use on some historical signs
