Divided Highway

The Narsinh Series (from the 1940 Gujarati Type Foundry of Bombay, India) is a modular metal font comprised of 32 basic shape pieces which would be assembled into any configuration to form various letters and numbers.

Examples of the alphabet and numerals were set in an Art Deco, condensed sans serif and were the basis for this type revival.

Strongly resembling a stencil design, the typeface was named after the revered 15th-century poet-saint of Gujarat, India Narsinh Mehta, and the foundry itself gets its name from the language and script of Gujarati [spoken by the Indo-Aryan residents of the Indian state of Gujarat].

Divided Highway JNL is the digital version of this design, and is available in both regular and oblique versions.
