Add TTC font to MS Word?

[SP!RE]

Hey everyone,

Is there any way to add the TTC's personal and renowned typeface/font to MS Word? Has anyone put such a file online?

Thanks,

-Andrew

To buy the font you can look to Quadrat Communications.

If you don't want to spend any money, Joe Clark says that "vaguely comparable typefaces are Verlag, Bernhard Gothic, Metro, Neutraface, and Eagle"

you can also test out what your text might look like here. Just click on the "Return to the old site" on the top right right corner.

i'm guessing you want something free.

i've found that century gothic is pretty close and only the hardcore transit fans will notice the difference.

Gill Sans looks pretty close apparently. That's in Word 2008 (mac). Not sure about 2007 though..

looks like if you combined select letters from each font type, you could get it close to quadrant.

Yeah, Century Gothic comes pretttty damn close. I've always loved that font.

Is "Quadrant" the name of the TTC font?

 

[RedRocket191]

No, that's the name of the company who made the only commercial version.

It's just called TTC subway font.

It's actually called 'Toronto Subway' with a bold variant as well.

The TTC internally uses a custom typeface that has only capital letters.

There are links to the font from here:

Use the 'megaupload' link.

TTC font sux

If it only has capital letters, then what is this lower-case font on Transit City literature?

one more thing... Comic Sans MS sux... and I hate people who use that font all the time, thinking that it's a formula for making a document look somewhat "funny".

Because it's very likely the TTC bought the font created by Quadrat (not Quadrant) themselves.

You can use any font in MS Word. Just install it to the Windows/Fonts directory.
