Step onto the open road of design with Jandus Road — a bold, modern reinterpretation of the iconic US Highway Gothic standard that powers our nation’s roadways. This isn’t just a font. It’s a full-on visual journey into mid-century American design, where functionality meets flair. Meticulously crafted from the original Highway Gothic style, Jandus Road transforms utilitarian signage into a powerful design statement, blending timeless legibility with a distinct vintage soul.
Rooted in History, Reimagined for Impact
The story of Jandus Road begins where the road signs end. Originally developed in the 1940s by the U.S. government, Highway Gothic was a revolutionary standard — engineered for maximum legibility at high speeds, with minimal contrast, large counters, and clear, distinct characters. Its simplicity was its genius, and now, Jandus Road honors that legacy while injecting personality, style, and soul.
What sets Jandus Road apart? It’s the subtle art of transformation:
– Softened Corners: Modernized for a warmer, more inviting feel without sacrificing clarity.
– Slanted Legs & Width Variation: Add visual energy and rhythm to your typographic layouts.
– Raised Counters: Enhance visual spacing and create a subtle “floating” effect that elevates the font’s presence.
This is functional design, upgraded. It speaks to the past, yet commands attention in today’s creative landscape. Whether you’re designing a vintage-inspired logo, a retro packaging line, or a bold poster for a music tour, Jandus Road doesn’t just inform — it captivates.
