If anyone can find that font?!

It seems weird that you have to hualing ass to see it clearly. What if there's a road jam and people are moving slowly? Do those signs only apply to 100kmh drivers only. I don;t think this is going to go much further..:o

[SteveAustin]

that's really interesting. I'd like to see pics of the signs when and if they go up. Video at speed and another going slow as well.

 

Part of me just wonders if its getting higher scores just because its different.

[ledzep]

it's a cool idae, but like Cluetwo said, i dont see it going anywhere.

but the again who knows, thats what they said about the airplane, the car and the beatles, so bottom line i dont know.

egggsellent.

 

but

they should make road signs where you have to blur your vision and refocus to get the 'hidden' image..

HAHAHAHA, i tried the same...moving the cursor up and down fast..it didnt work vertcally..but i aint got a headache

[TURBOCAPSLOK]

COOL.

i emailed buglehouse, trying to get a copy of the house, but the address was no good.... one of you fucks gotta have this font.

[Vanity]

i guess the north american equivalent for the universal highway font is called ClearviewHwy designed by a company called Terminal Design... looks nothing like euroface though.

 

if anyone has either of these, i'd appreciate getting one or the other.

 

thanks
