Austria is the typeface formerly used on all official road signage in Austria. A modified version of its German counterpart DIN 1451, it came in narrow- and medium-width fonts. Since 2010 it has been replaced on all new road signs by the more recently developed TERN (Trans-European Road Network) typeface.
