User Interface User Experience Typography

We focus on the layout of the display interface for information at and approaching the station. By integrating the design characteristics of Neutral Sans Expanded, we explore a new and efficient way of bilingual information presentation, providing passengers with a more intuitive travel experience.

Faced with the limited vertical space for on-board displays, the wide proportion of Neutral Sans Expanded allows information to maintain excellent readability while compressing vertical space. Optimized typography for station names, transfer guides, and dynamic prompts appear simple and clear.

We have also redesigned the exit guidance: incorporating modern and minimalist escalator and elevator icons, achieving greater visual consistency; the information for station exits is optimized as well, making the spatial association of each exit and related facilities clearer. All adjustments to detail are aimed at helping passengers quickly understand and make decisions, ensuring the information system truly serves people in a busy commuting environment.
