The brief

Swiss-grid typography for a fictional advisory practice, with oxblood accents, a question index and a first-meeting agenda tool.

  1. Challenge

    Advisory firms usually borrow trust from credentials, team photos and client logos. A fictional practice has none, so confidence has to come from clarity.

  2. Direction

    A Swiss-style grid, a large sans headline with one word in oxblood and a serif N as the only ornament, with no stock photography. A hypothetical worked example sorts scattered notes into assumptions, trade-offs and open questions before landing on one agreed step, and a sample decision memo shows what a client leaves with.

  3. Journey

    Choose the business stage and the topics that need attention, then save the sample agenda as an outline. No regulated advice is given and nothing sensitive is collected.
