Signage and Wayfinding for Vienna International Airport

Eight years in the making

When Vienna International Airport opened a major new terminal in June 2012—more than doubling the airport's size—Typotheque developed a custom version of Fedra Sans for the signage system. The terminal was designed by the architectural joint venture Itten-Brechbühl/Baumschlager-Eberle, with signage led by Intégral Ruedi Baur. Ruedi Baur's team spent eight years on the signage design, which includes a 50-metre illuminated LED wall with characters informing visitors of approaching aircraft.
