Interstate began as a personal challenge to build a typeface from the unlikely source of highway signs. By any traditional measure, the design is full of shapes that are “wrong” but are still essential to its personality. I redesigned every original shape and extrapolated missing characters such as reference marks, currency symbols, and foreign accents, using a light touch to preserve the durability and stumbling, dissonant charm.
