Jandus Road Display Font is a display typeface that has been modified from a type style that many of us might recognise but can’t quite place. We all deal with this style every day without giving it a second thought. What about the class? American Highway typefaces. As a matter of fact, traffic control systems and signage necessitate a distinct family of typefaces.
Jandus Road Display Font is an elegant spin on the classic Highway typeface that features elevated counters, slanted leg elements, slightly varied widths, and rounded corners for a touch of antique flair. A lovely synthesis of mid-century style with maximum legibility.

The past
In an effort to standardize the type used on highway signage, the United States Government created Highway Gothic in the 1940s. Due to the growing illegibility of hand-painted road signs caused by quicker vehicles, this standardization was necessary. Highway Gothic was created with clear personalities, big open counters, and little thick-to-thin contrast. Easily readable at high speeds on the highway.
