One of my pet obsessions is fonts. Having worked on layout so much, I get a little bit over the top noticing fonts, and I have likes and dislikes. Note: never use Monotype Corsiva in my presence.
And my current favourite is Interstate, in all its highway glory. Yes, I know it was the hot font of 2005, but I still think it's a classic: beautiful, easy to read (hey, if you can read it zooming down the highway at 100mph, it's legible). I just love the way the centre bar in the capital E is slightly retracted, the way the tail on the lower case h is oblique, the fat round curves on the 9 and 6... Yes, I can see your eyes glazing over from here. But seriously, printouts of this font should be a centrefold. If this font was human, I'd *&^% it.
So naturally I was delighted when I found a download of these fonts at

It's nice to know that someone is even more obsessive than I am about it. :-)
