Standard Medium is the font used here. If based on the original 1967 color scheme (vs. the 1970 NYCTA Graphics Standards Manual), the colors would have been: - PMS 130 (for 6, N, SS [Franklin Avenue Shuttle pre-1968]; as early as 1972 the first two Vignelli maps were using PMS 116 for this, would later be used on all BMT Broadway lines) - PMS 165 (for 1, 7, D, EE, JJ, SS [Culver Shuttle pre-1968], now used on all Sixth Avenue trunk lines) - PMS 185 (for 2, HH, QB, RJ; now used on all IRT Seventh Avenue lines) - PMS 239 (for 4, AA, F, MJ - Myrtle elevated line) - PMS 300 (for A, KK / K, TT, SS [Bowling Green-South Ferry Shuttle pre-1968]; used on all Eighth Avenue trunk lines pre-1987 when it was replaced with PMS 286) - PMS 311 (for 3, 8, E, M, NX, SS [42d Street Shuttle pre-1968]; 1970 Graphics Standards Manual cited PMS 312, which would later be used for JFK Express) - PMS 355 (for CC, GG, RR, SS [Dyre Avenue Shuttle pre-1968, all shuttles post-1968 thru 1979] [the unused MM line also used this color] [1970 Manual cited PMS 354]; reassigned to all Lexington Avenue lines after 1979) - PMS Black (for 5, B, LL, QJ / J, SS [Lenox Shuttle pre-1968], after 1972 alternating with PMS 401 as to be used on black background; originally used on all S Shuttles at point of 1979 color changes) But those were printing inks. Wonder what color codes were used for printing (by silkscreen method?) on mylar roll signs by Trans-Lite (which made this particular roll sign). Also, a shame there wasn't a roll sign with those colors printed in 1969 as along the lines of those struck for use on IND / BMT R-16 / R-32 / R-38 cars. Or was it a case of, if they were, they ended up unused?

@@wmbrown6 I’m sure there were Mylar signs for the older B div SMEEs, but I don’t know which firm made signs for them.

Originally the 8 was powder blue 🔵 . One of the R62AS has the powder blue 🔵 3 6 and the JFK Airport rolling signs . Including the powder blue 🔵 6 rolling signs. Eventually they are definitely gonna slip the powder blue 🔵 8 in telling you.
