Re your comment in another post about 10 megapixel images: They do
have their uses. For example, in this case you can see from the shape
of the dot over the 'i' in 'capacity' that it's in New Johnston Book
at a large size, contrary to the TfL design rules. (The dot is about
20 x 20 pixels, at which size it's possible to see that it has
concave sides to the diamond, a feature of New Johnston Book that is
not supposed to be readily visible. The rules say that NJ Book should
not be used at larger sizes than 12-point. New Johnston Light should
be used instead.)

But that's for signs. This is not a sign, it's part of a small photo,
and was not supposed to be looked at IRL. Use of New Johnston Book
was IMO correct.

What's "in real life" for a photo? Arguably it's displayed at full
resolution (10Mpixels, not "small") on a computer screen, and the curved
sides of the diamond are then clearly visible. Even reduced to fit my
laptop screen, the word 'capacity' appears at about 16-point, whereas NJ
Book is restricted throughout TfL to 12-point and below. This is because it
has features like the curved diamond that are slight distortions of the
original design to make it easier to read body text in documents.
