road sign fonts
in this context: "imitation" != bad (at a glance they look fine), "free" ~= free for noncommercial use.
- imitations of both the new (Clearview) and older (FHWA Highway Gothic Series B/C/D/E/E(M)/F) highway sign fonts: Roadgeek Fonts (free)
- Minnesota Department of Natural Resources recreation symbol font (linked on Roadgeek Fonts page) (free)
- There are currently two fonts floating about on highway signs: FHWA Highway Gothic (series) and the recently (2004) approved Clearview. more about Clearview.
- imitations of UK road sign fonts (free)
- another US look-alike is Expressway, aka "Blue Highway" by Larabie fonts. too tightly kerned (but that's adjustable). one face is free.
