Signika

Designed by Anna Giedryś

About

Signika variable font is a sans-serif with a gentle character, developed for wayfinding, signage, and other media where clarity of information is required. It has a low contrast and tall x-height to improve readability of texts in small sizes as well as in large distances from the reader. Being a typical signage typeface it is inspired by typefaces such as Ronnia, Meta, and Tahoma.

The typeface comes with a wide character set supporting Western European languages, Polish, and Czech. The figures are designed as tabular.

In July 2023, a GRAD axis is added to solve the optical effects of negative text setting (dark color text on light background).

Anna is a designer with many interests—she favors fonts and graphics when working, and illustration as a welcomed distraction.

She designed Signika, a type family for wayfinding, and collaborated on the open-source type families Yrsa and Rasa, which support the Latin and Gujarati scripts. After freelancing for several studios, Anna now works with Rosetta.
