In the UK, Public signs are usually in a soft edged sans serif like a Arial rounded bold; as seen below in my Hadfield trust site branding. I must repeat road sign are not in this for legibility reasons.

| a blog post about the full branding is coming soon |
But this is not the case in Italy, a sharp edged font that is my favourite of all of the typefaces (that I
have seen)(so far...) was very prevalent in italy. Futura with all of
it's quirky little cutting in the letter where would normall be flat and
your odd lower case J. It is futura or it is indeed futura-esque,as I like to call it. so below are some of the many examples. with witty intelligent captions to go with them, so brace yourself.
