Background

The mind-bogglingly prolific Ray Larabie created his infamous Blue Highway font over fifteen years ago. A popular freebie – but plagued with technical problems – it was discontinued and replaced with the more aesthetically robust (and commercial) Expressway family several years later. But go figure… Ray has reintroduced the venerable roadside sans as Blue Highway 5.0 – replete with all the “clunkiness” and “goofy charm” of the original.
