Circles, bars and quarter-arcs on a strict grid, in flat red, blue and yellow, with huge grotesk type. Swiss modernist is drawn in code, with no generated images, so it is precise and fast to revise. It is the confident, design-led option for ideas that should feel clear and certain.

The art direction the director follows.

Every style is a full art direction, not a filter: its own palette, type, motion and music. This is the brief the director works from for Swiss modernist.

Look: Drawn in code, no generated images: Swiss International / Bauhaus modernist poster design — pure geometric shapes (circles, bars, triangles, quarter-arcs) on a strict 12-column grid, flat red, blue, yellow and near-black on off-white, huge bold grotesk typography, asymmetric balance, generous negative space. People and objects are reduced to geometric figures.
Motion: Precise and graphic: shapes slide along grid lines with crisp ease-out, rotate in 90° or 45° steps, scale from their corners, type sets in by line with masks; cuts land on the beat; nothing wobbles.
Music: Minimal modern: clean electronic pulses, marimba, prepared piano, tight percussion — precise, confident, a little playful.
Type: One bold grotesk (Helvetica/Inter-like heavy weights) set huge and flush-left, with small caption type on the grid.

One sentence is enough.
