New Report Published: Evaluation of Guide Sign Fonts

May 8, 2014

Researchers at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) recently completed a pooled fund study for several state transportation agencies interested in completing a field evaluation of current and potential fonts for use on guide signs. In this study, TTI evaluated E-Modified, Clearview 5W, and Enhanced E-Modified. Clearview 5W and other Clearview fonts were designed by Meeker & Associates and revised over several different research projects [1]. Clearview was created  using a thinner letter stroke width overall and increased the height of the lowercase letters to provide longer legibility distance. (Read the report)
