F1 base grid scaling

Summary

A grid-specification page demonstrating how the square base grid scales across formats, with three labelled grid swatches (Business card, A4, 6 Sheet) growing left to right next to a column of instructions.

Visual description

Warm off-white background with a thin top rule. Top left a small two-line kicker "Visual Identity / System"; the centered title reads "Base grid" with a lighter outlined subtitle "Scaling" beneath it; "124" sits top right and the rule curls into a rounded corner. A narrow left column holds several short paragraphs of body copy with key values bolded (grid increments such as "0p6 / 6pt / 6px", "1p0 / 12pt / 12px", "4p0 / 48pt / 48px"). The remaining width carries three fine square-line grid swatches, each captioned and increasing in cell size: a small dense "Business card" block, a tall "A4" block, and a large "6 Sheet" block that runs off the right edge. The A4 swatch sits inside a soft rounded-corner card.

Key takeaway

Showing one grid system at multiple real output sizes side by side, with the cell size growing as the format grows, makes an abstract spec immediately legible. The bolded numeric values inside otherwise plain copy act as a quick scannable reference.

Reuse notes

A clean reference for documenting a grid or spacing system in a brand book or design-system deck. The three-swatch comparison pattern works for any spec that changes with scale (type sizes, margins, grids). Quiet by design; pair with louder section openers for contrast.
