Ground Control · φ 1.618
Grounded in proportion
Every choice rests on proportions that feel right because they aren't fabricated — borrowed from Le Corbusier's Modulor. Two series, one rhythm.
Red series — Typography · rhythm · breath
Interlinie krimpt met de maat — koppen strak-fluïde (≈0.89 groot → ~1.05 klein), leestekst op φ.
Blue series — Skeleton · grid · whitespace
12 × var(--col) · φ-split 7 / 5 ≈ 1.4 — integer-benadering van φ
Blue is the skeleton. Red is the breath.
Key numbers
Free composition — as long as it snaps to the grid
Every measure comes from the same two series. The heading breathes on the red series, the columns carry on the blue. Nothing is arbitrary — yet it never feels rigid or dull. That is the point: structure that grants freedom.
The Modulor is a measuring system based on the human scale, applicable to architecture and mechanics.
