Using a picture from James Lin's Route Markers website and photos from Robert V. Droz's History of the US Highways Shield page, I created this font which allows old style signs to be created entirely in type.

It includes the full alphabet (lower case letters are small caps), the numerals, two styles of US shields, left turn and right turn shields, a variety of arrows, a "U" and an "S" specially created for use above the route number, and most punctuation marks.

If you download the font, please send me a quick e-mail. I also ask that you show your support by sending $5 US to:

Bruce S. Cridlebaugh
Bravo Design Group
11 Stanwix Street, 21st Floor
Pittsburgh, PA 15222

Folks who send the registration fee will receive a chart via e-mail showing the keystrokes for the various symbols. Of course, it's possible to download the font without paying for it, but five bucks isn't much...and you won't have to struggle with the ethics.
