The Clearview Type System was developed as a result of a research program aimed at increasing the legibility and recognition of road sign legends.  The primary goal was to reduce the effects of halation (or overglow) for older drivers and drivers with reduced contrast sensitivity, when letters are displayed using high brightness retroreflective materials.   

The Clearview type system for traffic controlled devices was developed by a design team that included Martin Pietrucha, Ph.D. and Philip Garvey of the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute (PTI), Donald Meeker and Christopher O'Hara of Meeker and Associates, Inc., James Montalbalno of Terminal Designs, Inc., with supporting research by Gene Hawkins, Ph.D., and Paul Carlson, Ph.D., of the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI).  Consultation on experimental design was provided by Susan T. Chrysler, Ph.D., formerly with the 3M company and now with TTI.  This type system is designed for signing all streets, highways, and other bypasses open to public travel.

The ClearviewTCAD fonts were developed from the corrected technical information provided by the specifications releases by the FHWA, September 2, 2004.
