Subway Types is a collection of graffiti-style script fonts, containing prominent tag styles from graffiti strongholds like New York, Berlin and Paris. Shik (New York), Deon (Paris) and Etan (Berlin) came together to show the typical tag styles of their respective metropolitan areas. The fonts were digitized, spaced, kerned and programmed by Hannes von Döhren.The Subway Types are highly equipped. Each OpenType version consists of 4 alphabets (Uppercase, Lowercase, Small Caps & Swash). They also include ligatures and contextual alternates and some specials features like underlines. Plus there is a set of extras that includes paint drips, splatters, overspray, squiggles, arrows, etc. Full Western, Eastern, Central, Baltic, and Turkish language support.
With the OpenType technology these features can be applied easily.
For those who never used the OpenType features, we created the Std (Standard) and the SC (Small Caps) versions of the fonts. They contain the same basic characters like the OT versions but are split in two fonts. Hence you don’t need any OpenType knowledge to use the Std and SC fonts.
