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.

Design Principles
  • Use a visible grid to align text and images
  • Create hierarchy through type size, weight, and placement
  • Prefer clear information over decorative symbolism
  • Balance asymmetric groups across the composition
  • Keep spacing and column relationships consistent

When to use it

  • Poster-like campaign page
  • Editorial index
  • Architecture or design portfolio
  • Information-rich page that needs strict order

When NOT to use it

  • Place every element in the center
  • Use a grid without meaningful hierarchy
  • Make type so rigid that long content becomes difficult to read
  • Add decoration that fights the information structure
Anatomy
strict grid AaSans-serif display type Accent color examples Large/Small Generous whitespace
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.
Create distinct reading levels with clear size and weight contrast while keeping supporting text legible.
Whitespace is an active part of the composition: it gives content room to breathe.
