King Station gets another typeface

On my way through King Station this morning, I noticed a new addition to the southbound platform wall:

I’m not exactly sure why this was added as it wasn’t apparent that the tiles had been replaced. The new lettering is just stuck on and not sandblasted into the tile.

Worse: it’s a different typeface than the rest of the station (Gill Sans or Humanst521BT, vs. Univers), a different colour (black vs. maroon), and installed at a different height (two rows from the top, vs. three).

There’s plenty other prizes to be won on the TTC for type and design inconsistency, but this one wins on the “why the heck is this even here” category.
