 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

Quote: "Roadway is based on U.S. highway lettering observed on New York street signs. Two weights of highway lettering would often be used on the same sign, condensed for the main name and a half-size regular superscript for road or street."
Similar to Clearview-Highway (actual roadsignfont), Interstate or Blue Highway.

Hi, just got back from prague. All the street signs out there look really 'communist' need to find a similar font.
Imagine the words inscripted on stalin / lenin / marx's grave. U get the idea.

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.

Hi,
I have figured out the font is Edwardian Script in "Street". but the number 80 is very similar but a little more stylized. The 8 and 0 have a open swoosh. Does anyone know if there is a font that uses these types of numbers. Help is much appreciated. Thanks.
