It is one of the friendlier sub-styles in the catalog on softness — the 1px thin strokes combined with organic human figure forms prevent the hardness of geometric sets. It is somewhat formal — wayfinding conventions are inherently formal and directive, placing this firmly in the institutional signage register. It is one of the more serious sub-styles in the catalog — zero decorative elements with sole purpose of functional communication. On its human↔mechanical character, it is one of the more human-feeling sub-styles in the catalog — human figures are the defining characteristic, making this the most human construction in the Vault technical group. --- ## Pairing & Compatibility ### Typography pairing Inter, Roboto, Atkinson Hyperlegible, Helvetica Neue, Aktiv Grotesk — legibility-first neutral sans; no personality in the type. ## Example icons - [Accessible Men Restroom](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/accessible-men-restroom-46cad.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Accessible Restroom](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/accessible-restroom-660b9.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Accessible Women Restroom](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/accessible-women-restroom-591a4.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Baby Changing Table](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/baby-changing-table-6bbdb.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Female Sign](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/female-sign-283f7.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Gender Neutral](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/gender-neutral-5ecf5.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Male Sign](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/male-sign-47b20.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Men Restroom](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/men-restroom-42f34.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Nursery](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/nursery-583cb.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Sink](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/sink-c228e.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Toilet](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/toilet-2bc5d.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) - [Toilet Paper](https://assets.streamlinehq.com/image/private/w_34,h_34,ar_1/f_auto/v1/icons/restroom/toilet-paper-bad6b.png?_a=DATAiZkSZAA0) --- [View full sitemap](/sitemap.md)
