I would like to create print outs of new york street signs. Does anyone know what their font is, and where to get a copy. Or how to approximate it using standard windows fonts?
much appreciated, jG

Gary, I'd put not too much effort in finding these initials. Sportsteams have their signs almost everytime handmade, for merchandising reasons. And it is always very difficult to use these signs without permission. They usually have strict licencing rules.

Hello everybody!
Do You now any font with many letters with diacritical signs, such as you can find in Word-Insert-Symbols... but with much more options?
for example, letter n with the point under the letter and so on...
I heard about german program Signum!2.
bye!

Greetings.
I'm designing a string of logos involving modifications on caution, mandatory and danger signs. I've got some questions:
1) Which font is this (image)?
2) Which fonts are generally used for cauition, danger and mandatory signs such as this:

3) Can I safely and legally use these fonts for my design?
Thanks in advance. God bless you all.

Oh well, what can I say about Adrian Frutiger's best known font?
Ok, let's say it's a Swiss typeface, with a Swiss design, with its own Swiss clarity. It's probably one of the most readable (legible?) in the whole set of typefaces.
I think it's cool – not in the meaning of stylish, but cool, as a thing thrown out of the fridge. It certainly makes its job well: it's been designed for CDG's airport signs and banners. Aside from that and road signs or very conservative logos and the small print – address and the like – in the stationery, I do not think I'd use it.
Helvetica, to name another Swiss-made bestseller, has more flair to me and it's more versatile.
(and yes, I do love Switzerland: the square flag, her William Tell and all the cows. And the lakes, the mountains, the weed)

The font is located on the CD (right), it's used for both The Windows Theater and the songs and signs.
Thank you,

Hi, just got back from prague. All the street signs out there look really 'communist' need to find a similar font.

Buckle-up hungrydave!!
I have been staring at this post for quite a while now and must admit I am flabbergasted.
On this forum and others I have seen many posts phrased as 'new york yankees font', 'harley davidson font' and so on. Everyone with more than 0.2% of the average gray matter knows that there are no such fonts but just fonts used to cerate a new york yankees /harley davidson logo/website/... As there is no 'dumbo font' to describe the corporate housestyle typeface of the White House - or Tony Blair for that matter.
So we decrypt and respond.
But this time it goes beyond ignorance or lack of historical understanding or education. This one is plain stupid. Suddenly, apparently there are 'bhudist', 'catholic', liberal, 'conservative' and 'communist' fonts. Fonts, rather typefaces, stupid, are a reflection of time. Not of an ideology. In the part of the world where latin script - which includes cyrilic (not relevant in this case) - is used fashion and the style of a specific period it time determines the type being used. So the Prague street signs, as well as the Paris and Amsterdam, are reflections of the time that they were designed, The 1920's.
Any idea, historical wonder, when communism came to Check?
Satisfied? OK.
