What if all signs were designed for everyone to read?

Maybe there’s a sweet spot between clarity and character? Not everything needs to be perfectly labeled to be functional or welcoming.

That’s the tricky part, isn’t it? In my line of work, we’re always balancing clear signage for safety and navigation with the desire to keep things feeling unique. If you make everything “universal,” do you risk losing the local flavor or sense of place? I wonder if there’s a way to keep things accessible without everything looking generic. Where do you draw the line between helpful and sterile?
