About Signika Fonts
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).

Who Designed Signika?
Anna Giedryś
Anna is a designer with many interests—she favors fonts and graphics when working, and illustration as a welcomed distraction. She holds an MA in Visual Communication from the University of Fine Arts in Poznań, and discovered her interest in pattern and calligraphy while studying in Vilnius, Lithuania. 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.
