Author's note

GVB Bus Pid by Jeffrey Visser of FontStruct is a free digital techno display font modeled on the compressed lettering of public transport information systems. Its extremely tall, narrow capitals combine hard verticals with clipped corners, split strokes, and small rectangular breaks that recall dot-matrix destination signs.

Digital graphics for transit events, navigation-themed games, and electronic music releases gain a convincing machine-readout character from its severe proportions. On posters and merchandise, the recurring gaps and chopped edges can echo route maps, indicator lights, and technical interface symbols, so the lettering becomes part of the transport imagery.
