Can anyone tell me which font is used this text?
I remember there was once a web service that could do this for you. I can't remember the name of it, but you might be able to find it with some google-fu. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It looks like the FHWA Series fonts, couldn't tell you which variant (I would guess Series C), but its the font that [was] used by most of North America for road signage...

See here for more details.

[Actually, its the newer Clearview font is slowly replacing FWHA for american road signage. And its at&t that uses a variant of Clearview for its corporate identity.]

I can't tell if you're joking or not, but the site is whatthefont.com. Unfortunately, it can't find a match for that particular sample.

I was going to recommend that one as a lower priced alternative (the 'B' glyph isn't quite right, and probably a few other glyphs are a little different, but its pretty close if you aren't looking for perfect.)

I'm pretty sure its the FHWA Series.

I think this is really what you are looking for. Some guy made a replica set of both FHWA and the clearview set of signage fonts.


The 'e' and 'B' glyphs from Blue Highway are obviously not correct, but the 'i' glyph seems closer.

I don't have the actual FWHA Series C, so I can't compare against those exactly. The replica is from the Roadgeek 2005 set.
Thank you very much for your helps. I needed a free solution since I am planning to use this in a very small job.

This is the best solution for me. Thank you very much, it is quite alike with my image; using 118px, regular font.
