The basis for Series A Signage JNL is Highway Gothic; a type style design officially known as the FHWA Series. The typeface was developed by the United States Federal Highway Administration, and originally consisted of only capital letters and figures.
Each Letter designation represented a character width from 'A' (condensed) to 'F' (broad). Due to poor exposure at high speeds, Series 'A' was discontinued.
At one point lower case characters were contributed to the different widths of the style, but this typeface revival is based on the initial guidelines defined in the 1948 (reprinted 1952) book "Requirement Alphabets for Highway Signs" [this was the original name for the FHWA series fonts preceding the eventual name change to Highway Gothic]
.Unlike the original, Series A Signs JNL is offered in both regular and oblique versions.
