This is a col­lec­tion of 50 com­mon used sig­nage sym­bols, pro­fes­sional designed. The sym­bols signs are free of charge avail­able as an Open­Type font for­mat, allow­ing you to eas­ily add sym­bols & icons to your sign and wayfind­ing design. All the sym­bols have been designed & cre­ated by Sander Bau­mann and set to the pro­por­tions of a reg­u­lar type­face, so you no longer need to copy/paste the sym­bols into your designs.

Sym­bol Signs

In this free col­lec­tion I have added com­mon used sym­bol signs for pub­lic ser­vices such as Toi­lets, Tele­phone, First Aid, Ele­va­tor, Infor­ma­tion, Restau­rant, Cof­fee Shop, Smok­ing, Baby, Recy­cle Icon, Shower, Recep­tion desk, Arrows col­lec­tion and much, much more.

Toi­let sym­bol signs

The sym­bol signs have been designed for good read­abil­ity and func­tion­al­ity, when installing the type­face into your com­puter the type­face sym­bol signs is added to your sys­tem, I have set the icons to match the most com­mon let­ters for the sym­bols, for exam­ple F = female, M = male, d = dis­abled, L = arrow left, R = arrow right, U = arrow up, D = arrow down, and so on. This allows you to quickly add the sym­bol sign you need.
