The idea
International Typographic Style: a strict grid, one red, huge numerals, and nothing that isn’t needed.
Inspired by
The International Typographic Style of 1950s Zurich and Basel: grids, sans serif, one strong colour.
What to notice
Huge numerals carry the structure; everything else gets out of the way.
How it was made
Drawn and built by the Kitefolio studio as a React component, then tested in the editor, on phones and with reduced motion. Every section reads from one shared content model, so the same words fill any design.
Who it’s for
Graphic designers, Brand designers, Art directors.
