Expressway

Expressway is a modern homage to the clean, purposeful lettering that has guided travelers for decades. Inspired by the FHWA Series of Standard Alphabets—better known as Highway Gothic—it distills the clarity and authority of road signage into a versatile type system for contemporary design.

With 28 styles spanning seven weights, two widths, and matching italics, Expressway delivers flexibility for everything from bold display headlines to precise wayfinding systems. Its thoughtfully tuned spacing and kerning keep text legible at a glance, while features like old-style numerals, tabular figures, and a full suite of symbols give designers the tools to handle complex, data-heavy layouts.

Expressway’s appeal isn’t limited to the English-speaking world; it supports most Latin-based European languages as well as Vietnamese, Greek, and Cyrillic, making it a reliable choice for global communication. Whether you’re creating large-format signage, sleek UI elements, editorial layouts, or branded materials, Expressway brings a balance of utility and character.

It’s a typeface built for clear communication in any environment—firm in its presence, smooth in its delivery, and unmistakably readable. Wherever your project needs to guide the eye and hold attention, Expressway will get you there.
