U.S. Typography

The United States of America was the first to create a National Park system, beginning with Yellowstone National Park in 1872. Signage has always been necessary to help mark land and direct visitors! This example of U.S. typography found on National Park signs is consistent and has been unchanged for nearly 150 years. Another consideration of this U.S. type example – it’s always printed in white on a brown background. Branding!
