The controlled use of typeface and text weights will ensure consistency is maintained throughout the project

The correct use of capitals

Graphics Convention Signage Types

Having a capital letter at the beginning of words helps in defining a unique shape and definition; this will improve legibility even for people with blurred vision.

Legibility

In addition to the type size, a distinctive shape is an important factor for legibility. Therefore type should be set in both upper and lower cases, because people read primarily by word shape. The first letter of each key word should always begin with a capital letter.

Primary Typeface

Informational signage pertains to the overall facilities, providing broad navigating information. They are best placed in areas with broad exposure such as Lobbies and entrances

Directional signage helps people get to where they’re going. They’re best used at junctions and areas without a clear traffic flow. Continuity is key for signage

AXT Manal is the primary Arabic typeface. Cronos Pro is the primary English typeface. These official typefaces will be mainly used for all body copy.

Identification is the most common type of wayfinding signage. They tell a person when they have arrived at their destination. They also serve as general wayfinding landmarks.

Regulatory signage is focused on safety and liability concerns and sets boundaries. It’s used to establish and reinforce rules, safety standards, and privacy expectations.
