(01) Typography


Typeface
DM Sans was selected for its open curves, legibility, and range of weights. Its high x-height and clear proportions support a structured hierarchy and consistent vertical rhythm.

Hierarchy
Font weights, sizes, and spacing are selected to maintain optical consistency across all scales and to align visually with the stroke weights of arrows, separators, and pictograms.



(02) Iconography


PictogramsPictograms are designed to extend the geometric voice of DM Sans, translating its structure into forms that feel precise and soft. Icons are constructed on a flexible grid, which is not a strict template but a guiding framework that ensures visual consistency throughout the system.
Icon Scaling
Icon scaling uses a system that adjusts stroke weight for optical consistency at each size. Stroke thickness is subtly refined as icons scale up or down to maintain clarity, balance, and harmony with surrounding typography and linework.
