In the 1950s and 60s, designers in Zurich and Basel shaped what became known as Swiss Style: asymmetric layouts, sans-serif type, and a strict modular grid underneath it all.

This study takes that grid at its word: a poster in Swiss world format, a square module, a handful of elements. Any arrangement is allowed as long as every element lands on the grid.
