Casey (typeface) - Introduction

Introduction

Casey is created by KCRC for the use of its corporate identity on its railway system. Its first usage was on the KCRC logo, which was revised in 1996. When the Metro Cammell EMU of the KCR East Rail (now East Rail Line) was modernised, their fleet number was clearly posted in Casey. The same practice was done when the new SP1900 trains came into service.

When the KCR West Rail (now West Rail Line) started operation, its usage expanded to all signage and station nameboards in the WR stations, and even became the font used in the leaflets and brochures distributed by the Corporation.

While some of the ex-KCR signages are changed to signs with MTR style (with Myriad as the font typeface) after the Rail Merger, some are retained until now (as of 2009).

Famous quotes containing the word introduction:

    We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    For better or worse, stepparenting is self-conscious parenting. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
    —Anonymous Parent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)
