How to get Staff to Cleanup
Every workplace kitchen has a version of this sign — and it rarely works.
So how do you make a message stick?
Enter Sans Forgetica — a font designed by behavioural scientists and designers at RMIT to help people remember what they read. The font introduces just enough friction to make your brain pause and engage more deeply — boosting recall.
💡 Try posting your usual kitchen sign in Sans Forgetica.
People will look twice — and maybe even grab the sponge.
Beyond kitchen etiquette, this typeface has broader applications anywhere you want attention and retention.
Sometimes, solving a messy problem starts with making it a little harder to read.
