About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This document provides guidelines for raised prismatic characters in the Frutiger font for use in signage. The guidelines specify text heights from 5/8 inches to 2 inches for raised prismatic characters in Frutiger 55 Roman. Recommended leading and tracking values are provided for each text height, all of which comply with ABA accessibility standards. Frutiger 55 Roman is the preferred typeface, while Frutiger 45 Light may be used but is not ideal for visual readers. Text heights above Frutiger 65 Bold do not meet tactile standards. Characters should be 1/16 inch raised and have a minimum of 3/8 inch clear space around text and symbols.

The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the National Park Service seeking proposals for a CAHA Sign Plan. Details on pricing, response dates, set asides or incumbents are not provided.

Guidelines for Raised Characters in Frutiger

Notes

Guidelines listed comply with ABA Section 703.

Leading and tracking values may be interpolated for text heights between 5/8” and 2”. Text heights outside this range are not compliant.

Frutiger 55 Roman is recommended. Frutiger 45 Light meets ABA standards for tactile characters but is not ideal for people who read by sight. Frutiger 65 Bold and above are too thick to meet ABA requirements for tactile characters.

Specify 1/16” raised prismatic characters to ensure 1/32” ABA minimum height is achieved/exceeded.

Ensure 3/8” free space around all text and symbols.

1/16”
