# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=neo-grotesque-sans+swiss
# Neo-grotesque Sans 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 Neo-grotesque Sans (Style, 1957–) and its accent from Swiss (Style, 1950s–). Structural cues: Even, closed letterforms; Low contrast; Large x-height; A voice that performs neutrality. Accent cues, used sparingly: Strict grid; Sans-serif type; Asymmetry; Objective photography. Composition: Sit strictly on a grid, range left with a rag, treat space as information. Type and lettering: Track slightly tight, even the color, and build hierarchy from weight alone. Let one material quality come from the second style: White space and objective photographs; almost no ornament. Mood: Trust, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 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
# - Neo-grotesque Sans: Neutrality here is a design ideology, not a fact, and reaching for it as a safe default erases the character you meant to convey and leaves documents that all sound alike.
# - Swiss: Too much tidiness turns anonymous. Keep one strong jump in scale.
