NPS Rawlinson Roadway is an old-style serif typeface currently used on the United States National Park Service's road signs.
It was created in 2000[1] by Terminal Design to replace Clarendon.
Type designer James Montalbano named the typeface after his wife's surname, as her father worked for the Forest Service.
[2] Approximately 10–15% more compact than its predecessor, the typeface was found by the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute to increase readability by 11%.
Concurrent with NPS Rawlinson Roadway, the National Park Service uses Frutiger for applications requiring a sans-serif typeface.
