Swissted Design System
The Editframe landing page is modeled on Swissted — Mike Joyce's project reimagining punk/indie concert posters in the Swiss International Style. This is the specific reference. Not generic Swiss/Bauhaus, not De Stijl.
Swissted characteristics:
- Saturated primary colors as full-bleed grounds (not muted, not "sophisticated")
- Heavy all-caps type set directly on color — no cards, no containers
- Hard geometric rules as structural dividers
- Three to four compositional elements per section, no more
Quality and Completion
Design quality is felt before it is named. A developer lands on the page and either thinks "these people know what they're doing" or they feel an unease they can't name. That gap — between trust and almost-trust — is where the system runs out of care.
A system feels complete when:
- Every token has a declared role
- Every role is actually used
- Color choices are motivated, not arbitrary
- A new agent reading the CSS understands what to use and why
