Halden Ferry
A signage and timetable system for a small fjord ferry line: four piers, two boats and one rule, that every sign can be read from the deck in fog.

Client
Halden Fjord Lines (fictional)
Role
Wayfinding, signage, timetable design
The brief
Halden Fjord Lines runs two boats between four piers. Passengers were missing departures because each pier had its own handmade signs and timetables.
The system
One sign family built from three parts: a pier number you can read from 40 metres, a direction arrow cut into the post, and a timetable panel that lists only the next three boats.
Outcome
The panels are printed in-house on a desktop printer, so the crew changes the timetable each season without calling a designer.
