However, these tests also compared new signs in Clearview to existing, weathered signs in the existing Highway Gothic font. Reduced nighttime overglow or haloing was expected also to improve recognition rates for computer road sign detection. A design goal of Clearview was the reduction of irradiation effects of retroreflective sign materials.
Initial testing indicated that Clearview was 2 to 8 percent more legible in both day- and night-time viewing than the then-dominant Series E (Modified) on overhead signs, particularly benefiting older drivers, with a 6 percent increase in legibility distance. It was once expected to replace the FHWA typefaces in many applications, although newer studies of its effectiveness have called its benefits into question. It was developed by independent researchers with the help of the Texas Transportation Institute and the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute, under the supervision of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It has also been used in Canada, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel, and Sri Lanka.
