So the only font choices that are feasible are, in this order:
* USA Highway Gothic (not free, but available free so maybe it is free)
* USA Clearview (not free)
* Germany DIN 1451 (maybe free)
* USA Roadgeek (definitely free)
* Germany Bahnschrift & DIN (definitely free)
I think your definition of 'free' needs work. Bahnschrift and DIN are
bundled with Windows and macOS respectively. They are, however,
definitely not free.
I guess it depends on what is meant by free, because electricity to run a
computer isn't free either, so even freeware requires electricity to run.
I think you misunderstood my point -- I'm pointing out that it's not a
good idea to place bundled fonts in the same category as freeware fonts.
The latter can generally be redistributed, whereas the former cannot be.
