Interstate (typeface) (original) (raw)
Die Interstate bzw. die FHWA Series fonts ist eine Groteskschrift. Die FHWA Series fonts wurde für das Verkehrsministerium der Vereinigten Staaten entwickelt. Die Schriftart wird insbesondere für Orts-, Autobahn-, Eisenbahn- und andere offizielle Hinweisschilder verwendet. Da die Schriftart insbesondere für Schilder auf den sogenannten Interstate Highways benutzt wurde, wurde die Schriftart unter dem Namen Interstate geläufig. Der Typograf Tobias Frere-Jones hat eine Version der Schriftart unter dem Namen Interstate für den Gebrauch von Werbung, Verlagen und Druckerzeugnissen gestaltet.

(de) Interstate is a digital typeface designed by Tobias Frere-Jones in the period 1993–1999, and licensed by Font Bureau. The typeface is based on Style Type E of the FHWA series of fonts, a signage alphabet drawn for the United States Federal Highway Administration by Dr. Theodore W. Forbes in 1949. Frere-Jones' Interstate typeface, while optimal for signage, has refinements making it suitable for text setting in print and on-screen, and gained popularity as such in the 1990s. Due to its wide spacing, it is best suited for display usage in print. Frere-Jones later designed another signage typeface, Whitney, published by Hoefler & Co., that bears a resemblance to its ancestor while being less flamboyant and more economical for general print usage, in body copy, or in headlines. The terminals of ascending and descending strokes are cut at an angle to the stroke (see lowercase t and l), and on curved strokes (see lowercase e and s), terminals are drawn at a 90° angle to the stroke, positioning them at an angle to the baseline. Counters are open, even in the bold and bold condensed weights, further contributing to legibility. Punctuation is based on a rectangular shape, while official FHWA punctuation is based on a circular shape. Greece-based Parachute Type Foundry designed the PF Grand Gothik Variable typeface, based on the Interstate typeface, with OpenType features. Parachute Type Foundry also designed the PF Highway Sans typeface, which also based on the Interstate typeface. (en) |
