Having been on my first train of the year today (still masking btw), I was enjoying looking out at the infrastructure rolling past the window (yes, I know!)

But I was dismayed – nay, shocked – to see this permissible speed indicator with a non-standard typeface 🙀

Not sure what font they’ve used – it’s not one of the usual suspects as far as I can tell – but it should, according to UK rail regulations, be the one described in BS 3693B–1964, as I’ve mocked up in the second image

A quickly mocked up 35 mph sign according to the RSSB specification for sign AD01m, ‘Permissible speed indicators (mph)’. The ‘3’ in particular is quite distinctive, with an angular upper half.
