Ponchick & Minimal
Have you ever noticed how the layout of a page, like a hidden grid, can quietly steer the way we read? I’m always curious about the subtle rules that guide a book’s design.
Yes, a page’s hidden grid is the first thing the eye notices. It lines up the text, sets the rhythm, and lets the reader flow naturally from one point to the next. If the grid is off, the eye stumbles, and reading becomes a chore. That’s why I always start with a clean grid before adding any ornament.
Exactly, a misaligned grid is like a rogue bookmark—unsightly and disruptive. I always double‑check the margins before I let any fancy typeface in. It's the quiet foundation that keeps a book from collapsing under its own charm.
I agree, the margin is the anchor, and if it’s off the whole layout feels unsteady, so I always double‑check it before I let any typeface into the design.
