New SBS Transit Desto Fonts - Identified!
-
I guess many of you are wondering what are the exact fonts used by SBS Transit for their newer destos. Well, using http://www.identifont.com, I can now say what font SBS Transit used: a commercial font named FF Meta.
The font is a payware font, meaning you have to pay to download and use this font.
Some thanks to TWS4793 for his photographs of SBS Transit destos, which I used to identify the font. -

They sure spend a lot of money (to us, to them maybe is nothing) to make the destos!

Are u willing to be the person whom would sacrifise for us -
Well, it's not unusual for commercial companies to spend literally a ton of money just on fonts, especially when it forms part of the image or branding for the company. In the case of SBS Transit, I would consider destos to be part of their image, seeing how visible they are to the public. Of course, they must strike a balance between aesthetics and functionality in this case, and I think FF Meta was a good choice - not too plain, and the numbers are easy to read.Originally posted by ngjy22:They sure spend a lot of money (to us, to them maybe is nothing) to make the destos!
This is actually considered illegal you know - I have seen it happen before on other forums, and while they were not sued, they were told to remove the fonts by the forum administrators and moderators - or else.Originally posted by my@jas:Maybe someone buy the font, then upload for us so we can d/l for free?

u noticed that this font is not available in html documents? meaning cannot copy and paste, or even so, your computer cannot support it.......
even the destos and guides are printed as images rather than as text or ppt or un-flattened files... -
I think it would be better for him to buy the font for each n everyone of usOriginally posted by my@jas:Maybe someone buy the font, then upload for us so we can d/l for free?

And yes, you are welcome! Feel free to visit my bus gallery either at http://sbs9199c.fotopic.net, http://sbs9199c.myphotoalbum.com or http://s140.photobucket.com/albums/r34/TWS4793/. A new one, on my bus website (http://www.geocities.com/sbs7363h/index.html), is still underway. Expected completion date is somewhere during the first half of the year.Originally posted by eX.A.K.R.:I guess many of you are wondering what are the exact fonts used by SBS Transit for their newer destos.

I have also seen this font in use on sWAn Transit's recruitment stickers on the back of their buses.
However, I still prefer Swiss 721 SWA. Their numbers look the nicest.
