About Hilma af Klint
A design system taken from the ground of The Ten Largest, No. 7, Adulthood (1907): a dusty mauve tempera sheet where one enormous golden form floats, outlined in af Klint's structural dark blue. Spirals, petals and egg shapes grow upward across the page, and single cursive words sit wherever she wanted them.
Type pairs Marcellus capitals with EB Garamond and a looping script for section marks. Surfaces stay matt and unframed. Everything is sized for a wall, not a label.
