Swiss Style
You might say
Use a strict grid, big type, and precise alignment so it feels clean like a poster.
Build clarity through grid, typography, and objective visual orderSwiss Style uses a strong grid, sans-serif type, asymmetric composition, and disciplined spacing to make information easy to scan. Its clean appearance comes from exact relationships, not from centering everything or removing all personality.

When NOT to use it
- Place every element in the centerPromotional campaign (black, white, and red)A promotional page needs a rhythm that fits the product and the desired action.
- Use a grid without meaningful hierarchyBaby-products site (large Helvetica headlines)Categories that need warmth also need visual cues that support it.
- Make type so rigid that long content becomes difficult to readSocial app (grid + black and white)Social products also need expression that fits the community’s tone and interaction tasks.
- Add decoration that fights the information structureA grid cannot replace content editing when priorities are unclear.

Use a grid to organize alignment and spacing into a clear page structure.
Build hierarchy with deliberate type size and weight; align content according to language and layout relationships.
Use accent color for key information or actions, with its scope set by the brand and content hierarchy.
