Rail Alphabet 2

Rail Alphabet and the Design Research Unit's corporate identity remained in use by British Rail until the re-privatisation of the railways in the early 1990s. The new companies promoted their own individual commercial identities. Today, Britain's railway infrastructure is owned and operated by publicly owned Network Rail. It has embarked on a system-wide reassessment of its graphic identify, with the aim of creating a coherent approach throughout the stations that it controls.

Calvert and Kubel were commissioned in 2019/20 to design for this purpose a customised typeface that related to the original Rail Alphabet. The result was Rail Alphabet 2. Unlike any of Calvert's previous work, this letterform was designed specifically for both use on signing systems and as a digital text face. The typeface has a special weight for signs, and three weights with italics for Network Rail publications.

Margaret Calvert: Woman at Work

(May - August 2021)

With a career spanning six decades, graphic designer Margaret Calvert has produced timeless work that we see everywhere — often without realising it. Whether it is the design of the UK’s road signing system, with Jock Kinneir, wayfinding at railway stations and airports, or the typeface used on the gov.uk website, with Henrik Kubel, her work shapes much of our national visual identity.

This display marks the launch of Network Rail’s new customised typeface, Rail Alphabet 2, designed by her in close collaboration with Henrik Kubel in response to a new wayfinding system at Network Rail stations designed by Spaceagency. It will eventually be used in combination with a suite of bespoke pictograms to sign Network Rail’s stations, and as a text face for all their key built environment design publications.

"In 1962, the Commonwealth Institute moved to a distinctive copper-roofed building on Kensington High Street, immediately south of Holland Park. The building, designed by Robert Matthew Johnson-Marshall & Partners (RMJM), was opened on Tuesday, 6 November 1962, by Queen Elizabeth II. It was open to the public and contained a permanent exhibition about the nations of the Commonwealth, which was designed to inform the public 'how the rest of the Commonwealth lives'."

"In June 2011, Sir Terence Conran donated £17.5 million to enable the [Design] Museum to move in 2016 from the warehouse to a larger site which formerly housed the Commonwealth Institute in west London. This landmark from the 1960s, a Grade II* listed building that had stood vacant for over a decade, was developed by a design team led by John Pawson who made the building fit for a 21st-century museum, whilst at the same time retaining its spatial qualities."

"Kenneth Grange is Britain’s leading product designer, his prolific career spans over 50 years and he is responsible for designing some of the most iconic and familiar products and appliances that shape our daily lives. Kodak cameras, the silhouette for the Intercity 125 train, Kenwood food mixers, Parker pens, and the re-design of the London black cab are just some of his well-known designs."

These pictures are some smartphone snaps from Kenneth Grange’s first UK retrospective celebrating his work, and the role he has played in making Britain modern, at London's Design Museum, 2011.
