The font is called Clearview, and I don't particularly like its numeric
construction, being partial to the FHWA number styles myself. The text
itself isn't too bad.
I don't know how much PennDOT is consistent in its use.

Clearview has been popping up everywhere around Scranton. Did not notice it
as much around the Lehigh Valley, Reading and Philly though. Speaking of
PennDOT innovations, have the big white dots made it anywhere besides I-80
around Stroudsburg? Basically, they want you to keep a minimum of one dot
behind the vehicle in front of you, and this is for a road that is already
too congested.
