Enen Studio and Arthur Schwarz developed Staahl, a custom font for Cugy’s middle school signage. One of the challenges was to propose an original design that can adapt its legibility due to its various uses within the school. In the building, an element can be found everywhere: the barrier. Its shape was the absolute starting point of this design. That element lead to an original proposal for the typeface as this module defined each and every stroke of the font. Staahl is a display typeface with an optical axis to better adapt to its use within its environment. Contrast can be very high or almost not existing.
