    ...that Franklin Gothic above is from the ITC version, I think.

    I'm not sure what to think of that one; I associate its Heavy weight with the late '90s, but it does interest me as a chunkier version of the original.

    I actually kind of like Hobo, if only because that's the font Warner Bros. used for The Dukes of Hazzard's credits. :c

    Yes it is; I was lazy and grabbed the first one I saw, knowing only you would be able to tell the difference.

    Ahh, so that's what the FB in Agency FB stood for.

    Huh.

    Hobo is all right. You are all Philistines.

    The "FB" in Agency FB is for Font Bureau.

    What other fonts do they distribute?

    Their most famous is Interstate, a more extensive version of the FHWA series fonts with a modified design. It was designed by Tobias Frere-Jones, who was at the company from 1993 to 1999 (though his Garage Gothic was released by FB in 1992).

    Sometimes I wonder if I would be as fond of Interstate as I am if it weren't tied so closely to one of my obsessive interests.

    ^ I like Interstate and I'm not really into roads. It's easy on the eyes and isn't hard to read on a highway, so it serves its purpose, right?
