Grid

The framework of our visual identity

Our grid system acts as the backbone of design, providing structure and harmony that allows our graphic elements to shine.


Our grid system

Our grid is crafted to assist designers in positioning and sizing brand elements with precision. It serves as a vital tool for aligning typography and organizing layouts or interfaces, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing presentation.

Primary

DEFINE THE GRID

The grid is created for and helps with:

  • Positioning and sizing of brand elements
  • Aligning typography
  • Organizing layouts or interfaces.


To get the right grid size: divide the shorter side by 12 or 17 to get the right square size. You may also use the half-grid size (grid square divided by two) to place branding and visual elements on a page.


Do not place branding and visual elements under or oversized on a layout. Use the grid for reference.
