# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=isotype+swiss
# Isotype carries the structure. Swiss appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Isotype (Layout, 1920s–1940s) and its accent from Swiss (Style, 1950s–). Structural cues: Unified pictograms; Repetition of signs; Axes of comparison; Restricted color. Accent cues, used sparingly: Strict grid; Sans-serif type; Asymmetry; Objective photography. Composition: Fix the unit per symbol; show change by count, never by size. Type and lettering: Short labels and clear figures; prose stays outside the chart. Let one material quality come from the second style: White space and objective photographs; almost no ornament. Mood: Trust, Technology, Intimacy, Calm. Color: build on #eee7d3, #b9362c, #2c4e72 with a single accent drawn from #f1efe8, #ed3b22, #121210. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Isotype: Never scale one big symbol to show a difference. Always show unit, base and source.
# - Swiss: Too much tidiness turns anonymous. Keep one strong jump in scale.
