<p><strong>Fun fact:</strong>&nbsp;The&nbsp;Circle Line (CCL)&nbsp;was originally known as the&nbsp;Marina Line&nbsp;in the 1990s before it evolved into the orbital line we know today, through the merger of the Marina and the Outer Circle lines in&nbsp;April 2001.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> The newly minted Alstom Metropolis C851E, debuted on 13 April 2026, uses the same font as the North-East Line, which is one fucking&nbsp;hell of a disappointment. It was originally planned to be a new font, which is going to be named as "Marina Two" (as seen on set 865 at the one of the C851E trainsets at the&nbsp;Singapore Rail Testing Centre), or for "Marina One" to be reused again since I liked the aesthetics of that "Marina One Origin" font, like the lowercase letters G (U+0067), J (U+006A), P (U+0070), Q (U+0071), and Y (U+0079), but never did we expect is that LTA reused the font that was exclusively meant for the North-East Line, for the Circle Line.</p>

<p><strong>My bleak confession:</strong> This goes to show that each identity of every train line in Singapore is being stripped apart, piece by piece, until there is nothing left to identify them anymore. Hope the Down Town font family won't meet the same fate...</p>

<p><strong>A very stern warning to Singapore:<br />
It has come to our attention, that some of our fonts may have been flagged by&nbsp;someone to the Land Transport Authority to be "unauthorised" and "copyright-infringing" under the Copyright Act of 2021". Those fonts are:</strong></p>

<p><strong>1. "LTA Authority"<br />
2. "LTA Authority Italic"<br />
3. "Abbas Nova"<br />
4. "Abbas Nova Italic"<br />
5. "Abbas Nova Condensed"<br />

7. "Abbas Nova Compressed"<br />
8. "Abbas Nova Compressed Italic"<br />

11.&nbsp;"Abbas Emilia Condensed"<br />
12. "Abbas Emilia Condensed Italic"<br />
13. "Abbas Emilia Compressed"<br />
14. "Abbas Emilia Compressed Italic"<br />
15. "Marina One Origin"<br />
16. "Marina One Pro"<br />
17.&nbsp;"Marina Two Concept"<br />
18.&nbsp;"Down Town Origin"<br />
19.&nbsp;"Down Town Pro"</strong></p>

<p><strong>This is not true, and is considered to be slanderously defamatory against the Font Designer, and FontStruct as a whole.</strong></p>

<p><strong>I have my reasons for my decision, and I will stand by it, in terms of:</strong></p>

<p><strong>"Preservation of those display fonts sourced from trains across Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit transport system through this font-building website FontStruct."</strong></p>

<p><strong>Because of them (whom they think that the intellectual property / copyright of this font belongs to Land Transport Authority, and Singapore Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Ltd.), this font is licenced with an "All Rights Reserved" licence.</strong></p>

      <title><![CDATA[“山寨专业版” by Vienna Binders (AskGamerViennaBinders)]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[<img src="https://render.fontstruct.com/renderer/render?v=6a2447ae&id=2790768&w=1600&h=150&f=0&a=left&t=AaBbCc%2BHandgloves%2B123"/><br/><p>My improved take on the font that is extracted from the shanzai knockoff of the Nokia 107.</p>

<p><strong>Copyright disclaimer:<br />
Any fonts that are created / published on FontStruct are the copyrighted work&nbsp;of the respective creator.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Buyer Beware:<br />
The term shanzhai refers to imitation or counterfeit products that mimic the appearance of established brands, often smartphones manufactured under generic name companies (e.g. Alps) with generic name brands (Fuffi, Maimeite, Sansung, Susan, Welcome, etc.) that look nearly identical to legitimate models from companies like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, etc). These devices are typically sold at attractively low prices, but behind their polished facades, there lies serious risks in them.</strong></p>

<p><strong>A key form of deception in shanzhai smartphones involves spoofed hardware specifications. These devices may falsely claim impressive specifications, when in reality, they only contain a lot less RAM and lot less storage than what was “advertised”&nbsp;(Like a phone that was advertised with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB&nbsp;&nbsp;of storage, when in reality, they contain about 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage).</strong></p>

<p><strong>Such falsifications are achieved through firmware tampering, where certain system files are modified so the phone's "About Device" screen&nbsp;and certain foolable diagnostic apps display fake numbers (but not all diagnostic apps can be fooled, like Hugh Jeffreys's iTest app, available for iOS and Android for 99 cents).</strong></p>

<p><strong>This deliberate manipulation leads users to believe they are purchasing a high-performance phone capable of what you would deem it as "real&nbsp;modern multitasking and gaming", when in reality, they really cannot even do basic operations, they do overheat, and run out of storage (and battery, since they use KEBE-branded (typicall capacity is at 2.1 Ah) batteries) almost immediately.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Oh, and combined with outdated Android versions—often disguised as newer releases via modified files (through the&nbsp;build.prop file located at /system)—through hidden pre-installed apps (like SwitchApp), these shady&nbsp;shanzhai devices pose serious risks to both user experience and data security.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Also, certain shanzhai smartphones falsely claim to support modern mobile technologies such as 4G LTE, Voice Over LTE (VoLTE), or even 5G, when in reality, they only function on 2G or 3G networks.</strong></p>

<p><strong>From ads that show that these shanzhai smartphones can really connect to 5G networks, to&nbsp;firmware modifications, these tactics are often used to display misleading information, giving users the illusion of full compatibility with what you think are the "current standards" (some even show "4G” or "5G" icons in the status bar, despite the hardware being incapable of connecting to those networks).&nbsp;The implications are very severe.</strong></p>

<p><strong>As mobile carriers around the world phase out 3G networks, these shanzhai smartphones will lose the ability to make calls (including emergency calls), send text messages, or use mobile data—leaving users with only Wi-Fi connectivity. This not only renders the phone nearly useless but also poses a safety risk in situations where cellular access is critical. However, things are about to change after the sunset of 2G and 3G services, these shanzai smartphones now support at least 4G networking just because they upgraded the CPU to a Unisoc (formerly Spreadtrum) SC9863A / T606 (the new kings of the fake phone world. Yes, they are legitimate 4G chips, but they perform like entry-level tech from several years ago) or a better version of&nbsp;MediaTek (MT6737 / MT6739, but still old-ass&nbsp;CPUs with 4G networking&nbsp;that are now pennies on the dollar for mass production), but they're still impacted as these do fallback to 3G for calls and text, meaning that they essentially did nothing to improve it.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Australia, may have (to the officials) made the right move to sunset 3G networking, but this comes at the cost of axing 4G &amp; 5G phones that used 3G for calls (esp. emergency calls) off the network.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Beyond that, shanzhai smartphones often contain low-quality components, unstable firmware, and even pre-installed malware or data-harvesting software. Buyers may experience app incompatibility, unreliable updates, and privacy breaches without realising the root cause.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Consumers should be wary of deals from unverified online sellers on&nbsp;e-commerce websites&nbsp;(like Lazada, Shopee, etc.) advertising those&nbsp;shanzai&nbsp;smartphones&nbsp;that appear "too good to be true". Always verify the device's certification, check the Android API level and security patch level, and confirm the authenticity of the brand and model through official sources (e.g. iTest).</strong></p>

There could be a potentiality that this font could be "censored" by those so-called "M4N1C4LLY SE9/C00C00-B4N4N45-0F-4-51N94P0R34N", in the event that they have reported (did, could have, or in the process of getting) this font as "potential infringement of the Copyright Act of 2021".</strong></p>

<p><strong>Please don't ask for more character glyphs as I have since disposed that imitation phone off for recycling.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><strong>Copyright disclaimer:<br />
Any fonts that are created / published on FontStruct are the copyrighted work&nbsp;of the respective creator.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Buyer Beware:<br />
The term shanzhai refers to imitation or counterfeit products that mimic the appearance of established brands, often smartphones manufactured under generic name companies (e.g. Alps) with generic name brands (Fuffi, Maimeite, Sansung, Susan, Welcome, etc.) that look nearly identical to legitimate models from companies like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, etc). These devices are typically sold at attractively low prices, but behind their polished facades, there lies serious risks in them.</strong></p>

<p><strong>A key form of deception in shanzhai smartphones involves spoofed hardware specifications. These devices may falsely claim impressive specifications, when in reality, they only contain a lot less RAM and lot less storage than what was “advertised”&nbsp;(Like a phone that was advertised with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB&nbsp; of storage, when in reality, they contain about 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage).</strong></p>

<p><strong>Such falsifications are achieved through firmware tampering, where certain system files are modified so the phone's "About Device" screen&nbsp;and certain foolable diagnostic apps display fake numbers (but not all diagnostic apps can be fooled, like Hugh Jeffreys's iTest app, available for iOS and Android for 99 cents).</strong></p>

<p><strong>This deliberate manipulation leads users to believe they are purchasing a high-performance phone capable of what you would deem it as "real&nbsp;modern multitasking and gaming", when in reality, they really cannot even do basic operations, they do overheat, and run out of storage (and battery, since they use KEBE-branded (typicall capacity is at 2.1 Ah) batteries) almost immediately.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Oh, and combined with outdated Android versions—often disguised as newer releases via modified files (through the&nbsp;build.prop file located at /system)—through hidden pre-installed apps (like SwitchApp), these shady&nbsp;shanzhai devices pose serious risks to both user experience and data security.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Also, certain shanzhai smartphones falsely claim to support modern mobile technologies such as 4G LTE, Voice Over LTE (VoLTE), or even 5G, when in reality, they only function on 2G or 3G networks.</strong></p>

<p><strong>From ads that show that these shanzhai smartphones can really connect to 5G networks, to&nbsp;firmware modifications, these tactics are often used to display misleading information, giving users the illusion of full compatibility with what you think are the "current standards" (some even show "4G” or "5G" icons in the status bar, despite the hardware being incapable of connecting to those networks).&nbsp;The implications are very severe.</strong></p>

<p><strong>As mobile carriers around the world phase out 3G networks, these shanzhai smartphones will lose the ability to make calls (including emergency calls), send text messages, or use mobile data—leaving users with only Wi-Fi connectivity. This not only renders the phone nearly useless but also poses a safety risk in situations where cellular access is critical. However, things are about to change after the sunset of 2G and 3G services, these shanzai smartphones now support at least 4G networking just because they upgraded the CPU to a Unisoc (formerly Spreadtrum) SC9863A / T606 (the new kings of the fake phone world. Yes, they are legitimate 4G chips, but they perform like entry-level tech from several years ago) or a better version of&nbsp;MediaTek (MT6737 / MT6739, but still old-ass&nbsp;CPUs with 4G networking&nbsp;that are now pennies on the dollar for mass production), but they're still impacted as these do fallback to 3G for calls and text, meaning that they essentially did nothing to improve it.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Australia, may have (to the officials) made the right move to sunset 3G networking, but this comes at the cost of axing 4G &amp; 5G phones that used 3G for calls (esp. emergency calls) off the network.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Beyond that, shanzhai smartphones often contain low-quality components, unstable firmware, and even pre-installed malware or data-harvesting software. Buyers may experience app incompatibility, unreliable updates, and privacy breaches without realising the root cause.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Consumers should be wary of deals from unverified online sellers on&nbsp;e-commerce websites&nbsp;(like Lazada, Shopee, etc.) advertising those&nbsp;shanzai&nbsp;smartphones&nbsp;that appear "too good to be true". Always verify the device's certification, check the Android API level and security patch level, and confirm the authenticity of the brand and model through official sources (e.g. iTest).</strong></p>

<p><strong>Remember that&nbsp;a small saving upfront could cost far more in lost data, compromised privacy, and security risks in the long run. If it appears too good to be true, it probably is.</strong></p>]]></description>
