 The terminals of ascending and descending strokes are cut at an angle to the stroke (see lowercase t and l), and on curved strokes (see lowercase e and s), terminals are drawn at a 90° angle to the stroke, positioning them at an angle to the baseline.Counters are open, even in the bold and bold condensed weights, further contributing to legibility.Punctuation is based on a rectangular shape, while official FHWA punctuation is based on a circular shape.
