Typography & Layout
Typography is the voice of the written word. In a world of digital noise, precise typography and calculated layout are the strongest tools for clarity. Over 20 years, I've refined the art of setting type for both the screen and the page.
I treat layout as engineering. Every grid, every margin, and every character of leading is a deliberate decision based on the context of the information and the constraints of the medium.
Key Disciplines:
- Modular Grids: Building flexible, resilient layout systems that maintain hierarchy across all device sizes.
- Semantic Typography: Selecting typefaces that align with the brand's psychological profile and technical requirements.
- Readability Optimization: Balancing negative space and line length to ensure the user can consume information without fatigue.
From the KB Design system's signature glyphs to massive institutional reports, typography is where my attention to detail is most visible.
