Airport - A new typeface family.

An interpretation of Matthew Carter’s alphabet for London Airport.

The original was drawn in 1961 for the wayfinding system in the newly built Oceanic Terminal, today known as Heathrow Terminal 3.

The digital reimagination expands Carter’s design to seven weights and optimizes it for contemporary use.

Designed with the input and approval of Matthew Carter.
