Prezzo Medio

Gas station in Sicily
Gas station in Sicily

Prezzo Medio is a numerical typeface inspired by the pricing lists of Sicilian gas stations. Its layout and unique appeal may seem arbitrary at first. The seemingly random numerical combinations in the inspiration stem from the fast pace at which these signs had to be switched to keep up with rapidly changing oil and gas prices. To maintain the font's diversity, the numbers 8, 9, and 1, which appear twice on the board, were assigned to the letter keys B, P, and I. The font is free to use and is available here.
