For as many years as I’ve visited this stop, I’m not sure I’d ever noticed this slightly not Helvetica “HARVARD” on those tiles on the bottom. Notice the tail on the “R” has a kind of squarish shape.

I’m calling it “Harvard Mono” since it is necessarily monospaced as a result of the tiles.

A bench at the Harvard T stop in Cambridge MA. At the top is a white Helvetica all-caps “Harvard,” and at the bottom, with one red tile per letter, is another white all-caps “Harvard,” but this is in a kind of slightly blocky Helvetica mimic
