Clarity is a
layout problem.

Rasterwerk sets annual reports, timetables, signage and data systems on a twelve-column grid with a fixed 8-point baseline. Every element earns a coordinate, or it comes out. Nothing on this page is decoration.

02

Four disciplines,
one grid.

Work is priced by system, not by page. Typical engagement: ten to sixteen weeks, documentation included.

01 / REPORTS

Report systems

Annual and financial reporting for listed companies. A hierarchy that still holds at page 300.

02 / SIGNAGE

Wayfinding

Programmes for hospitals, transit and museums. Every sign proofed at 2 m, 8 m and 40 m.

03 / DATA

Data graphics

Charts, tables and dashboards locked to the baseline. No gradients, no shadows, no 3-D.

04 / IDENTITY

Identity systems

Marks, grids and the manual that governs them. We ship the rulebook, not just the logotype.
