Signage and Wayfinding Design – Reading Area

Use the safe zone

for everything critical


Viewing Zone

When we look at the overlap between standing and seated viewing positions from a comfortable viewing distance we can see the common viewing zone is approximately 1500mm.


Safe Zone

When we move in to a more common reading distance the safe zone restricts to around 1100mm.

Anything below 900mm – the knee – is rarely suitable for important wayfinding information.
