About Tratex

Tratex (earlier called GePos) is a geometric sans-serif typeface family for road signs in Sweden. It was developed for maximal readability in traffic, and designed by Karl-Gustaf Gustafsson (known as Kåge Gustafsson). Since 2014, Tratex has also been used on road signs in the Swedish-speaking autonomous region of Åland in Finland. Tratex also contains Sami characters. It is free to download and use for illustrations and prints.
