(02)THE BRIEF

"A 90-second opener for a documentary on fog, lakes, and the people who live between them."

Köd arrives with a clear request and a quiet room. We answered with one elliptical mark, two weights of a quiet serif, and a paper stock that warms in the hand.

The system runs on a four-column grid that breaks for nothing except the work itself. Every touchpoint — sample card, invoice, tissue — passes through the same set of three crops and never asks the customer to do any work.

(03)PROCESS — FOUR MOVES
01 / LISTEN

Read the room.

Two weeks on site. No deck, no fonts. Notes on a single sheet of A3, the work itself on every page.

— 14 days · 2 people · 1 brief
02 / REDUCE

Halve, then halve.

Every idea written down, then halved. Then halved again until one survives the desk drawer.

03 / SET

Set the grid, once.

One grid, one type family, one paper. Everything else is detail work — and most of the work is.

04 / HAND OFF

Leave a working studio.

A 12-page system the client can run themselves — because they will, and we want them to.
