Typography Challenge:  Swiss-Style Typographic Grid  Layouts

A design exercise where the brief was to design 6 layouts in total:


• 5 x layouts using 8-pt type only

• 1 x layout that introduces one additional size of type.

• Use the same underlying grid

• Use a Swiss typeface

• Use only one typeface and one weight/font in all cases


Focus was set to achieving strong hierarchy despite only using 8-pt type. Meanwhile, various sizes of white space were introduced to enhance the use of proximity. This ensures the eye is led correctly across each page.
