Roadway

Ask anyone who's been there, New York is an inspiration. 'Roadway' is based on U.S. highway lettering seen on NYC street signs in February 2005.

Two weights of highway lettering would often be used in the same street sign, a standard condensed version used for the main name and a half-size regular for less important information like 'road' or 'street'. Roadway is a Small Caps font. The upper case is condensed capitals, the lower case consists of regular weight small caps, sized at 50% and superscript.
The small, superscript comma and period are situated at keystrokes < and > respectively.
A hyphen to fit with the small caps is at the underscore position _
