Honk if you can read this! All India Permit (AIP) is our growing series of display fonts inspired by the hand-painted lettering on trucks across India. It’s not one style but a whole set of thematically related, visually unrelated fonts, each pulled from a different part of the truck. Mix & match them like a digital sign painter’s kit, and keep your eyes on the road – more fonts are joining the convoy soon.

Born on the Road, Made for Everywhere

AIP started with India’s hand-painted trucks, but it was never meant to imitate any one painter’s style. Each of the four fonts draws on the visual world of the roadside, yet speaks with its own independent voice. Inspiration from India’s everyday, handcrafted world finds a place in today’s global, digital typographic landscape.

Think of the trucks as the starting point, but not the limit. These fonts have loads of character and personality, and they’re ready to work anywhere: posters, packaging, logos, book covers, social posts, signs, and screens. Take them for a spin in the testers below, then grab a license when you’re ready.

Banner with the AIP emblem and the words ‘Horn Please’ in white display lettering on a rust-orange truck panel

Horn Please is loud on purpose. Inspired by bold lettering proclaiming “HORN OK PLEASE” on the backs of Indian trucks, it delivers chunky swagger to your headlines and posters. Its reversed contrast features super-thin vertical strokes and saturated, thick horizontals, making every letter feel top-heavy and loud. Next up: variable widths, from condensed to extended.

AIP Horn Please specimen: ‘Bougainvillea’, ‘Rosemary’, ‘smores & chocomint’ and ‘xmas tree’ in cream letters on dark green

Banner with the AIP emblem and the words ‘Diesel Script’ in white script lettering on an orange truck panel

Diesel Script is the flowing, more elegant side of the series. Its energetic strokes and semi-connecting forms feel like they were written by a sign painter in one go. A natural fit for logos, labels, and anything that wants a human hand behind it instead of a ruler.

Banner with the AIP emblem and the words ‘Roadlines Sans’ in bold white sans lettering on a red-orange truck panel with painted ornaments

Roadline Sans is the most straightforward member of the family: clean, sturdy letters with the hand-painted rhythm still showing through. It’s almost monolinear, but still neat & clear, making it good for medium amounts of text. Pair it with the family’s louder members for contrast, or let it carry a whole label or book cover on its own. It holds up even at small sizes, where the rest of the convoy tends to get a little unruly.

Road Lines’ painted in yellow lettering
AIP Roadlines Sans specimen: ‘Little Mermaid’, ‘Geraniums & Orchids’, ‘Blues Brothers’ and ‘Leopard tights are back?’ in cream letters on mustard yellow

Banner with the AIP emblem and the words ‘Stop Signal’ in blocky white lettering on a rust-colored corrugated panel

Stop Signal is built for attention. Every letter is knocked out of a solid black block, so whatever sits behind it – paper, color, a photo – becomes the letter. The shapes are stripped down to blocky unicase forms, almost like a stencil, which makes it a natural for short, bold messages. Great for warnings, price tags, and anything that needs to stop someone mid-scroll (or mid-drive).

AIP Stop Signal specimen: ‘Breakfast cake’, ‘strawberry shortcrust’, ‘cookie dough’ and ‘granama’s lemon meringue pie’ in tightly packed orange display letters
