Popular Stylos system from William Smith shows its versatility


The superbly engineered and aesthetically appealing Stylos fingerpost sign system from William Smith is now firmly established as a preferred solution for directional and information signage programmes supplied to town and inner city street refurbishment and regeneration projects. Good examples can be seen in Manchester, Gloucester, Leicester, Barnsley, Blackpool, Lancaster and more recently Sheffield and Argyll in Scotland. Around 35 Stylos units were supplied to


Sheffield City Council for an extensive wayfinding programme in the city centre. Featuring a brushed and anodised silver finish, all of the directional ‘arms’ were stove-enamelled white with reflective vinyl lettering protected by a compatible overlay film applied to the sign faces. The supporting posts were finished with the familiar Stylos ‘Polo Mint’ finial. More recently, Argyll Signs chose the


system for a wayfinding signage programme it was commissioned to create by Argyll and Bute Council for the Campbeltown Town Centre Regeneration Project. The flexibility of the system that was supplied in component form and the ability to complement the traditional style of other street furniture were key factors in the decision to use Stylos fingerposts.

can be supplied, either as a finished product or in component form for on-site assembly, in any stove-enamelled colour to match BS, RAL and Pantone specifications.

William Smith’s Stylos system can be reconfigured to provide signage such as this map sign located in Fareham town centre in Hampshire.


Each unit can have ‘fingers’ pointing in up to eight different directions and at varying heights. A key design feature is the concealed inner fixing device that makes it extremely difficult for the fingerposts to be vandalised. The system can also be adapted to provide associated boundary and city and town centre map signs to guide tourists to various places of interest. For areas of poor or reduced lighting, an illuminated version of the system is available. For further information, telephone William Smith on 01833 694707 or visit www.williamsmith.co.uk
