Highway Gothic: Digital typefaces Highway Gothic (also known as the FHWA Series fonts or the Standard Alphabets for Highway Signs) is a set of sans-serif typefaces developed by the United States Federal Highway Administration and used for road signage in the United States and some other countries, e.,g., Canada, Mexico, Australia, Turkey, Spain, Venezuela, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Mongolia and New Zealand. Digital fonts that mimic it, were inspired by it, or were designed to replace it, include: Interstate. Designed in 1993 by Tobias Frere-Jones at Font Bureau. Followed by Interstate Mono (2000, Tobias Frere-Jones and Christian schwartz, Font Bureau). Clearview by James Montalbano. Intended to replace Highway Gothic in the USA, but apparently, the deal will not go through. Blue Highway. A free version by Ray Larabie from 2012. Road Geek 2004 and Road Geek 2005. Free versions by Mike Adams. Downloadable from Fontspace. Highway Gothic. A free typeface made in 2009 by Tom Oetken / Ash Pikachu. Overpass. In 2011, Delve Withrington and Dave Bailey co-designed Overpass, which was inspired by Highway Gothic, and is freely available from Github and Open Font Library. See also Transpass (2011-2019). Highway Gothic. By Page Studio Graphics. Outer Loop NF. A font made in 2007 by Nick Curtis. Expressway Soft (2016, Ray Larabie) and Expressway (2005, Ray Larabie). OC Highway Var (2021). A free variable font by Andrew Bellamy. It builds on Ash Pikachu's free Highway Gothic font.
