An updated version of Rail Alphabet, originally designed by Margaret Calvert of Kinneir Calvert Associates in the early 1960s. Commissioned in 2020 by Network Rail and designed by Calvert together with Henrik Kubel. Includes lighter weights, italics, and new pictograms. “In October 2020, Network Rail announced that starting with London Paddington, the updated Rail Alphabet 2 typeface will replace Brunel for all signage on all Network Rail managed major stations on the network. Network Rail will also begin using the typeface for corporate communications. ¶ In May 2021, as part of the Williams Rail Review, it was announced that the new government body Great British Railways (GBR) will introduce Rail Alphabet 2 on the rail network, replacing the many different typefaces used on railway signage since privatisation.” [Wikipedia]
