How Typography Shapes Places - Riccardo De Franceschi, Dalton Maag (Revisited)
What makes a typeface right for a place, and how much difference can the small details make?
We’re revisiting our conversation with Riccardo De Franceschi, Creative Director at Dalton Maag to explore how typography helps people navigate and gives places a distinctive identity.
From easily confused characters to the different demands of signs and screens, Riccardo explains what makes type work in practice. We also discuss why multilingual design needs more than visually matching fonts, and the different routes to creating typography tailored to a building, neighbourhood or brand.
A conversation for designers, architects and anyone interested in how the details of communication shape our experience of places.
This episode was originally recorded in 2023, references to technology and studio developments reflect that time.

What makes a place impossible to forget? Chanel Dehond, brandx
What is it that makes some places stay with us long after we’ve left them? In this episode of Wayfinding Xchange, Alison Richings talks to artist, designer and wayfinder Chanel Dehond about the role of storytelling, creativity and memory in the way we experience and navigate the world around us.
From the visual landmarks we use to find our way, to the personal stories and unexpected details that make a place feel distinctive, Chanel explores why the things that stand out are often the things we remember. She also shares how her work as an artist has influenced her approach to wayfinding, and why humour, playfulness and personal connection have an important place within design.
The conversation explores how we build mental maps, the role of our senses, the importance of inclusive communication and what we might gain, and lose, as technology makes navigation increasingly efficient.

The surprising design lessons from public toilets - Gail Ramster, Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design
Why are public toilets one of the biggest design challenges in our cities? In this episode of the Wayfinding Xchange Podcast, we speak with researcher Gail Ramster to explore why one of the most overlooked spaces can teach us so much about the way we design for everyone.
Drawing on years of research into public toilets and the public realm, Gail explains how everyday journeys are shaped by confidence, dignity and independence, and why designing for these seemingly ordinary experiences creates better places for everyone.
From wayfinding and public space to policy, behaviour and the future of our cities, this is a fascinating conversation about the hidden design decisions that shape how we experience the world around us.
