Font Style Options
TrafficSign.com will use the font below known as the FHWA Series fonts (also known as Standard Alphabets for Highway Signs) when producing your 911 address signs. This font offers several variations of character compression and character spacing — the correct version will be selected by us when producing your signs. The selection will be based on the length of the street address versus the length of the sign ordered.
