THE WAYFINDING ISSUE

Every place has something to say. Some signs whisper, some shout, some welcome us in, while others tell us exactly where to go. Together, they shape how we navigate, understand and experience the world around us.

For Issue #11, we turn our gaze to wayfinding, guest edited by DNCO, the London-based branding and wayfinding consultancy led by Patrick Eley and united by a deep understanding of how places feel and why people care about them. Drawing on DNCO’s experience shaping identities and wayfinding systems for destinations around the world, this issue explores wayfinding as more than a practical problem, examining how typographic signs, systems, materials and maps can transform space into place.

The editorials crafted for this issue explore the many voices of wayfinding and the systems behind them. We look at the cultural character embedded within local signs, the universal symbols that help us navigate unfamiliar environments, and the engineering, architecture, perception and behavioural science that allow these systems to work. Along the way, we explore why we trust arrows, how legibility works, how sound can guide us, how signs withstand the physical world and how Google Maps has changed not only the way we navigate, but the way we see our surroundings.

Through conversations with designers, typographers, architects, engineers and makers, TYPEONE Magazine #11 explores how the signs around us guide us, reassure us and quietly shape our sense of place.
