Agency Grid Layout Minimal

Editorial multi-column grid with oversized headlines and tiny uppercase labels.

What it is

A layout direction for agency sites: wide grid shells, oversized display headlines, small uppercase metadata in adjacent columns, and architectural image blocks.

Create a minimal agency design system with a disciplined editorial grid, oversized typography, quiet uppercase utility labels, restrained image blocks, and subtle structural detail.
From the upstream SKILL.md

Why it matters for design

  • Strict column placement makes every element position read as intentional.
  • Scale contrast between display headlines and tiny metadata carries the hierarchy.
  • Negative space is preserved instead of filled, keeping the page editorial.
