Massimo Vignelli’s original New York subway map, using the Helvetica font. It was revolutionary because it was designed as a diagram, with a personal choice of colors for rivers and parks, and for sacrificing geographical accuracy in the name of clarity. Stations were represented by dots and connected to neighboring stations by color-coded routes running at 45- or 90-degree angles.
