Visual style: swiss-minimal

Strict Swiss-grid discipline. Modular grid, sharp geometry, aggressive whitespace, near-zero decoration. The most restrained style — for high-end consulting, architecture, design firms, type-led decks.


1. Shape & decoration

  • Shape language: sharp rectangles, true circles, single-weight rules. Corner radius rx="0" by default; if rounding at all, ≤4.
  • Decoration: none. No gradient fills, no decorative blocks, no badges — structure carries the page.
  • Whitespace: vast and deliberate; negative space carries as much weight as content. Wide margins, generous gutters.
  • Layout snaps to a visible or implied modular grid; rigorous column / row alignment.

2. Typography character

  • Sans-serif, single family; weight contrast (e.g. 900 / 300) over family contrast. Tight, rigorous spacing.
  • Strong size hierarchy — large headlines, small precise body. Left-aligned, flush.

Family is chosen at confirmation g by subject fit — this style asks for a grotesque / neo-grotesque character, not a specific font.

3. Using the deck's colors

  • One color dominates a deliberate grid zone; the field stays near-white; the accent appears at a single point — never more than a few percent of canvas.
  • Color as conceptual zone, not decoration. No gradients.

HEX values come from confirmation e; this style only governs how sparingly they are applied — it names no colors.

4. Texture / elevation

  • Strictly flat. No shadows, no depth, no material — 2D conceptual planes only.

5. Paired image-rendering

minimalist-swiss — lock it for AI images so illustrations share the grid-austere aesthetic.
