Author's note

Cruise into a world of precision and familiarity with Expressway, a sans-serif typeface that channels the unmistakable spirit of Highway Gothic. This is a journey through typographic history, reimagined for modern design landscapes.

Expressways DNA is rooted in the FHWA Series of Standard Alphabets, the visual language thats guided travelers across continents since the mid-20th century. It captures the essence of road sign typography: clear, authoritative, and instantly recognizable. But Expressway doesnt just replicateit elevates. With an impressive arsenal of 28 styles, including seven weights, two widths, and italics, Expressway offers unparalleled versatility. Whether youre designing for expansive billboards or intricate user interfaces, this typeface family has the range to meet your needs.

Expressways practical prowess shines in its numerical offerings. Old-style lowercase numerals bring a touch of sophistication, while monospaced tabular numerals ensure precise alignment in financial documents and data-heavy designs. Currency symbols, mathematical operators, and fractionsall meticulously crafted and monospacedmake complex information crystal clear. But Expressways journey doesnt end at the edge of the English-speaking world. Its extensive character set spans Latin-based European languages, Vietnamese, Greek, and most Cyrillic-based writing systems. From the autobahns of Germany to the expressways of Vietnam, this typeface speaks the universal language of clear communication.

Expressway isnt just about functionalityits about feeling. Its warm, inviting style carries the nostalgia of road trips past while pointing confidently toward the future. Its equally at home guiding users through a sleek tech interface or gracing the pages of an engineering manual. For designers who understand that true innovation often comes from refining the classics, Expressway is more than a typefaceits a destination. Its for projects that demand the perfect balance of authority and approachability, of tradition and progress.   

So, when your design needs to communicate with the clarity of a well-placed road sign and the warmth of a familiar journey, turn to Expressway. Its not just about getting from A to Bits about enjoying every letter of the ride.
