Tern is a sans-serif typeface, which is used on traffic signs in Austria and Slovakia.
The typeface has been officially adopted as road sign typeface in Austria in 2013,[1] although it was already in use since 2010 and replaced the former Austria typeface.[2]
The development of the typeface started in 2005 as part of the sixth Framework Program for Research and Technological Development.[3] [4] The typeface was developed together with a set of symbols, of which 65 were adopted in 2020 as new symbols for the road signs in Austria.[5]
