Clearview

The New York Times Magazine has an article about Clearview, a new typeface that is on track to replace Highway Gothic on road signs across the country. I, for one, welcome this change. My somewhat compromised night vision makes some signs nearly impossible to read at night. If the tests are any indication, this should […]
