Motorway

Motorway is a sans-serif typeface designed by Jock Kinneir and Margaret Calvert for use on the motorway network of the United Kingdom. Motorway was first used on the Preston Bypass (which subsequently became part of the M6) in 1958, and has been in use on the UK's motorways ever since. The typeface is also used in some other countries, most notably Ireland and Portugal. Motorway comes in two weights, "Motorway Permanent" and "Motorway Temporary". Motorway Permanent is the standard weight, and is used for pale text on a dark background (for example, on white-on-blue permanent motorway signs) while Motorway Temporary is heavier, and is used for dark text on a pale background (for example, black-on-yellow temporary motorway signs).
