The letters on this sign in the subway are mostly from Akidenz Grotesque, but the capital "R" is actually in Helvetica."We've got a mutant," said Paul Shaw, sign aficionado.
it's visible in the capital S and C, whose ends aren't horizontal, as well as the lower case e, and also the lowercase a which doesn't have a tail that curves out.
