The signs on the campus of the Schule für Gestaltung Aargau (SfGA, Aargau School of Design), Switzerland, uses a wide range of different typefaces.
The signage concept was developed by Andrea Gmünder of Feinform Grafik, Zurich. It was installed in 2012, when the school’s building on Weihermattstrasse 94 was converted and extended by the architects of Baumann Projektmanagement, Basel.
From a 2012 press release (translated):
For the school, which also teaches typography, it was important to focus on this topic. Andrea Gmünder has succeeded in giving the building a strong identity of its own through a playful overlapping of colors and typography.
