Hoefler's revivals include the Ziggurat family, created for Rolling Stone and based on nineteenth-century advertising letters. Hoefler (interview), whose studio is in New York, describes each of these fonts as an "interpretation that expands upon existing designs without replicating them." Frere-Jones, working at Font Bureau in Cambridge, designed the typeface Interstate in 1993, based on the letterforms used on American highway signs.
