Type for the road

Here’s a short NYT slideshow about the development of new signage typography for American roadways. Reminds me of a lecture that I attended concerning Jock Kinneir’s Transport typeface and some of the testing that went into its development. Personally, I prefer Transport to Clearview, but any improvement in legibility for drivers is a good thing.
