Panic Crown

One of the many derivative of the posters made famous by Barter books, who are the people who found and brought to light one of the few surviving originals, which were printed in 1939 never used, and now 70 years later have found a new resonance.

Now you can make your own version with the George VI crown (third row from the top, second from left in the pdf file). The font used on the original is the legendary sans serif font design developed by Edward Johnston for the London Underground system in 1916. Our version uses a similar face by a pupil of Johnston’s – Gill sans.
