Network is a sans-serif typeface created by Monotype for use on the transport network in the Birmingham/West Midlands metropolitan area in the United Kingdom. The typeface is based on VAG Rounded, which was previously the typeface used by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive for public information in the county.[1]

It is currently used by Transport for West Midlands for transport information, covering bus, rail, Metro, walking and cycling. It will be phased out in 2018, when TfWM replaces Network West Midlands as the transport network brand.[2][3]
