Blue Highway by Ray Larabie of Typodermic Fonts Inc. is a free wide sans serif with tall, open proportions. Broad capitals and rounded lowercase forms keep it approachable.
Contemporary civic graphics are a natural setting for this direct style. It suits transit posters, event signage, and technology branding, where its even strokes support clear, uncluttered public messaging. The straightforward drawing also appeals to audiences who favor clean modern design without decorative effects.

Blue Highway was created in 1996 and is based on Canadian and U.S. highway-sign lettering. It was discontinued in 2004 and replaced by Expressway. Earlier versions had technical problems.

The fonts are available in OpenType and TrueType formats.
The fonts are covered by a license permitting free commercial use, sometimes referred to as a desktop license. This license allows installation on a computer. Read the license agreement for details.
