Two subway signs, but only one with vintage vibes and charm

There’s nothing wrong with the MTA’s usual subway signage: the directions are clear, the design is simple.

But when a contemporary sign happens to be stuck underneath original signage made with decorative tile and an unusual typeface—as it is inside the Sixth Avenue F and M station at 14th Street—the old-school sign wins hands-down.

Subway.org states that this station opened in 1940. Uptown, the Bronx, Queens…and a slender arrow below them to point the way.
