Swiss Design for Software
Core principle: Clarity through reduction. Every element must earn its place. Remove until removing more would harm understanding.
The Four Principles
| Principle | Rule | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Reduction | If it doesn't serve comprehension, it's noise. Remove it. | Can I remove this without losing meaning? |
| Grid | Mathematical structure creates visual order. Alignment implies relationship. | Does alignment create rhythm and relationships? |
| Hierarchy | Control attention through contrast in size, weight, position. Three levels max. | Is there a clear reading order at a glance? |
| Typography | Type carries content and creates structure. One typeface, two weights. | Is type doing the structural work, not color or decoration? |
Deep reference for each: [reduction.md], [grid.md], [hierarchy.md], [typography.md]

Before finalizing, run each test above. If any answer is "no," revise. This is not optional.
