Out now! Ampoule is the latest experimental treat from @daytonamess - just recovered by her from the deep underground tunnels of Argonpolis before it was totally eaten by the Rats. Across its twelve audacious styles, watch dots and bars dance before your eyes to form letters and symbols. 3D renders by Carla Manckoundia (thanks to her!).

Most of the station signs like this have gone. They were the main signage on the railways when I was growing up in the 60’s so it’s quite nostalgic seeing them now.

They’re not the most disability friendly and probably costly to maintain so stations these days tend to have boards at regular-ish intervals with the station name in a much bigger font and often branded with the livery of the company running the station. Certainly that’s the case on “passenger” platforms. These signs are on “goods/freight” platforms on the edge of the station.

In textual studies, a palimpsest (/ˈpælɪmpsɛst/) is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off in preparation for reuse[1] in the form of another document.[2] Parchment was made of lamb, calf, or goat skin and was expensive and not readily available, so, in the interest of economy, a page was often re-used by scraping off the previous writing. In colloquial usage, the term palimpsest is also used in architecture, archaeology and geomorphology to denote an object made or worked upon for one purpose and later reused for another; for example, a monumental brass on which the blank reverse side has been re-engraved.[3 — Wikipedia
