Narrative:

After landing on runway 27R at phl; we were given instructions to turn right; taxi on K hold short of taxiway east. There were three airliners lined up on taxiway east holding short of taxiway K. Upon approaching taxiway east; neither myself nor the pilot taxiing the aircraft saw any signs indicating taxiway east and assumed that the aircraft were on taxiway F. Once we saw the runway 35 hold short markings and lighting; we realized we had gone too far. The ground controller questioned our location and we immediately responded we had passed east and were holding short of runway 35. We were then cleared to cross the runway and continued taxiing to the ramp with no further issues. There seems to be a lack of signage marking taxiways F and east when approaching from the west on taxiway K.
