Order makes room.

A system is not a cage. It is the condition for clear decisions.

One measure holds the page.

Every line begins from a common edge, so the argument can be read at a glance.

Difference earns its place.

Scale changes only when it names a new level of meaning, never to decorate a surface.

Space is an active interval.

White gaps separate thoughts with the same precision that rules connect related ones.

Type speaks before style.

A direct grotesque carries the statement; the grid keeps its voice exact and unforced.
