Geogrotesque is the typeface used for the signs in the Parque Lineal del Ferrocarril Cuernavaca (English: Linear Park of the Cuernavaca Railway).

From urbanNext Lexicon:

In August 2016, the local government in Mexico City launched an international competition for the construction of the most important public space project in recent decades due to its location, size and social impact. The project, done by Gaeta Springall, is located on a section of the railway between Mexico City and Acapulco, built in 1898. The railway is no longer working, except in a 7 km section where the project is sited. The train still passes three times a day, constituting a singular presence in the park. For many years the right of way was a residual space. People used it, although it was never consolidated as a qualified public space because it did not have the necessary conditions of security, infrastructure and landscape.
