Many people take great pleasure in studying the subjects they enjoy most or in reading a book that captures their interest. For this reason, libraries have become genuine places devoted to study and reading. As their relevance continues to grow, they are playing an increasingly significant role in our cultural life.
With this in mind, this pilot project—exploring a possible signage system for a library—proposes a set of signs that make use of a typeface and hand-drawn strokes. These elements resemble the handwriting or drawings of a child, highlighting the innate human ability to express oneself both textually and graphically, and to communicate one’s most fundamental thoughts and emotions.
These characters and almost childlike drawings, outlined on maroon elliptical backgrounds, are used to describe and distinguish each of the spaces that make up the library: from the entrance to the study and work areas, while also including, of course, signs indicating restrictions and the need to maintain silence.
