Student hall wayfinding, Warsaw University Campus
The graphic design for the signage of the student’s hall at the student campus of the University of Warsaw in Służewiec is based on a set of geometric shapes arranged on a modular grid. This approach was used to design various motifs composed of layered elements.
Highly abstract symbols such as circles, triangles, and squares were deliberately utilized. The dormitory serves as a temporary home for individuals from diverse cultures, hence the decision to make the graphic design universal and conceptually neutral.
FF Good Headline by Łukasz Dziedzic was selected for primary communication. Its design is characterized by open forms and easily distinguishable characters. Its simple and functional form fits well within the building’s architecture.
Its complement is a decorative, futuristic font: Neue Machina by Mat Desjardins. It is used, among other things, for floor numbers, mixed with illustrations and abstract symbols.
