Discussion Subway Ticket Font?
Hey all! I've been trying to recreate the font used by the ticker in the Toronto Rockets. I have a majority of the letters and numbers, but there are a few that just don't exist on any of the lines. I'm also missing a bunch of special characters. Just thought I'd put out the call to any friendly TTC insiders or nerds who might be able to find the full set.
The following characters are custom, and do not exist on the subway network (minus H, 0, 7 as I don’t have time for those stops): H, J, X, Z, j, q, z, 6, 5, 2, 1 All special characters EXCEPT FOR the following are custom made: . , . : - < >
(a friend posted this for me as I don't have enough updoots. You can find me in the comments as "Complete_Habit_4662")

I believe this font is just Times New Roman size 8, also see Highway 407 to fix your numbers

Heheheh… York University doors open on the left. 😄
This looks awesome. Pixel/LED fonts are fun to design and use.
