It's intertesting that almost invariably public signage uses san serif simply because it is easier to read. I know that many people have very strong feelings about the font I use, Comic Sans, but I use it because it is recognised as being very easy to read, especially for those like me, who suffer mild dyslexia

Yeah Im all about urban design and universal communication, and i have a special interest when it comes to accessibility for people with disabilities. Ive learned a lot about it in terms of the NYC subway, so it was an interesting read to see how things developed in the underground. I have a co-worker at the museum I work for who used to work at the London Transport Museum, and she certainly enjoyed the fact that I dropped on her about Gill being a dog fucker.
The airport stuff is fascinating too, thanks for the link.
