ADA TYPESIZING REQUIREMENTS The new ADAAG is significantly more stringent in the area of typography for the blind. Reading tactile letters is extremely difficult. The letters must be relatively consistent in size and shape on every sign in the environment in order to be easily read. Tactile letters must also be smaller in size and simpler than most visual letters in the environment. Tactile type, though, applies only to permanent room identification signs; these apply to rooms that will not change names for at least a year.

HEIGHT OF TACTILE LETTERS There is only a narrow band of allowable heights for tactile letters: 5/8” minimum and 2” maximum based on the letter “I” (703.2.5); minimum letters are allowed on dual signs. Tactile letters must always be capitalized. Tactile letters must also be a minimum 1/32” in height from the surface of the sign. They may be beveled or chamfered.

CHARACTER PROPORTION AND STROKE WIDTH Tactile letters must be sans serif and always capitalized. Characters must be selected from fonts where the width of the uppercase letter “O” is 55 percent minimum and 110 percent maximum of the height of the uppercase letter “I” at the top of the tactile text (703.5.4). The stroke width may be only 15% maximum of the height of the letter “I” (703.5.6). Two fonts that traditionally work well under these guidelines are Futura Regular and Optima Medium. Under the new ADAAG, very few fonts are allowed (some of the commonly used typefaces that are NOT allowed include Times Roman, Optima, and most bold fonts, including Helvetica Medium and Futura Bold), so you should test each font’s stroke width to be sure. Stroke width rules are only for the top of tactile letters. If bold characters are beveled, they may comply.

LETTER SPACING Character spacing is measured between the two closest points of adjacent tactile characters within a message, excluding word spaces. For unbeveled letters, there must be a 1/8” minimum spacing between letters and a maximum spacing of 4 times the letter stroke width. When characters are beveled, there must be a 1/16” spacing minimum at the letter base and 4 times the stroke width maximum at the base (703.2.7). Spacing requirements for the top of the letters are the same as for unbeveled letters. Characters must be separated from raised borders and decorative elements by 3/8” minimum.

ADA SUMMARY The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates sign position, finish and contrast, typestyles, character height, and Braille requirements. All facilities, both public and private, with ten or more employees are affected.

FINISH AND CONTRAST Characters and background must be eggshell, matte or other non-glare finish. There also must be adequate contrast between background and copy colors. ADA requires a minimum of 70% contrast between copy and background.

TYPESTYLES AND CHARACTER HEIGHT Characters must utilize a sans serif typestyle. For permanent room signs, tactile characters must be upper case and a minimum of 5/8” and no more than 2” in height. They must have a width-to-height ratio between 3:5 and 1:1 and a stroke width-to-height ratio between 1:15 and 1:10. Overhead and flag mounts have a minimum character size of 3”. Upper and lower case are permissible. For directional signage, character height must be appropriate for the viewing distance. Again, upper and lower case characters may be utilized.

TACTILE CHARACTERS AND BRAILLE For permanent room signs, characters must be raised a minimum of 1/32” (0.8 mm) and accompanied with grade II Braille. Braille shall be domed in shape. Flat, square cornered Braille shall be avoided. Raised copy and Braille are not required on overhead or directional signage and minimum height is measured using an upper case “X.” Lower case characters are permitted.

PICTOGRAMS Pictograms must have a background field of at least 6” minimum in height. Pictograms shall be accompanied by the equivalent verbal description placed directly below the symbol and not within the field.

SIGN POSITION s Room with a single door – the tactile room identification sign shall be on the latch side s Double doors with one active leaf – the tactile room identification sign shall be on the inactive leaf s Double doors with two active leafs – the tactile room identification sign shall be to the right of the right hand door s )F A LACK OF WALL SPACE PRECLUDES ANY OF THE PRESCRIBED LOCATIONS THE TACTILE ROOM IDENTIlCATION SIGN MAY BE LOCATED AT THE NEAREST adjacent wall.

MOUNTING HEIGHT s Room Identification – Signs shall be located at 60” from floor to centerline of sign. s Overhead Signage – Signs shall have an 80”clearance from floor to bottom of sign. s Flag Mounted Signage – Signs shall have an 80” clearance from floor to bottom of sign if the projection from the wall is 4” or greater s Directories – Signs shall be mounted a minimum of 27” from floor with no more than 80” at the top.
