Seems that granby and London Underground are the nearest.

Although I know that the are not the exact same ones. Lots of links to the name of the font but nowhere to find and buy it!!
Easiest solution is to just use the underground font, New Johnston.

That's a very interesting face, digi. Never had the fortune of visiting so I haven't seen it. Any chance for a closer look?
It's like a combo of an old grotesque, Underground, and the lettering that inspired Gotham.

come on its something :-) looks a bit like that, and its damn good for a free version, besides he can clean off the edges of 'N's if he wants , why not anyone hook him up with the stock font?
