Anyone knows what typeface this is? Tried WhatTheFont and all the other font ID robots out there and couldn't find out what it was. I can't remember the original website I got it from, thought it was a portfolio site I saw on Hover States, but I can't find it anymore.

Edited to include more info per forum rules.

Thanks!

It looks like a (not very well done) copy of P22's Johnston Underground.

enter image description here

Note the single story 'a' and 'g'. The 'Y' and 'G' are different. The 'N' is also notably narrower.

  • Actually, I'm surprised WhatTheFont didn't give you this.

  • ...WhatTheFont gave 5 results: All P22 Underground.

  • One of the things about P22 Underground Pro is, it has an insane variety of stylistic alternatives, including single-story a, many forms of Q, y` etc. However, I just checked on MyFonts and none of them include a high-crossbar A like this. Apr 20, 2016 at 21:38
  • You are right.. Underground Pro Medium has 2,920 glyphs compared to Medium's 250! As well as the high-crossbar on the A there is no G with the downstroke, no (horribly) slanted Y, and the N is significantly narrower.

  • Don't forget the S that looks like it's drunk and about to fall over backwards! I'd guess the font up top is some design student's experiment; they'd just learned about how many people had created modified versions of Johnston's original design, and decided it was their turn. Possibly using the open source Johnston-inspired Railway Sans as a base (though it's no more similar) Apr 20, 2016 at 22:03
