Clearview

Clearview, also known as Clearview Hwy, is the name of a humanist sans-serif typeface family for guide signs used on roads in the United States, Canada, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel, Panama, Brazil and Sri Lanka. It was developed by independent researchers with the help of the Texas A&M Transportation Institute and the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute, under the supervision of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It was once expected to replace the FHWA typefaces ("Highway Gothic") in many applications, although newer studies of its effectiveness have called its benefits into question. Initial testing indicated that Clearview was two to eight percent more legible in both day- and night-time viewing than the prior typeface on overhead signs, particularly benefiting older drivers, with a six percent increase in legibility distance.
