I'm so happy the Interstate thread has been brought back from the dead. One of the funniest threads ever.

I have been rather partial to Peter Bilak's Fedra Sans lately.

Interstate was way popular in the UK for a while: http://www.sainsburys.com/home/g… Still no UK road sign font though.
BTW Fontshop have both East Berlin and West Berlin as fonts based on German streetsigns. Wierd huh.

Hildegard is pretty cool too, has sort of a calligraphic effect.

So, take a look at this:

"Din to me is a RESPONSE to the overtly clean helvetica like typefaces - someone looking for something that is just like helvetica, but with more funk or something. I just don'r see it becoming a transcending classic in terms of usage."
DIN was definatly not designed with that concept in mind.
"oh yeah, let's make a helvetica witha funky attitude"
wtf???

I stand corrected.

using helvetica to be trendy? i know that helvetica neue had a boom but helvetica in general? that font is so embedded in typography, design, typesetting etc. since it's existence. basically from haas grotesk on up that you hardly can say it's a trend.
