shenxingy vignelli-canon-design-system
Massimo Vignelli's complete design discipline, distilled from The Vignelli Canon. Encodes the Intangibles (semantics, discipline, appropriateness, timelessness, equity) and the Tangibles (the grid, the six basic typefaces, a two-size type scale, rulers, primary-color-as-identifier, white space) into an applyable method, plus the railway-signage module logic from his Grandi Stazioni and NYC Subway work, a deterministic token generator, and production notes for taking the system from code into images and the real world. Use when: designing or critiquing any visual artifact that should read as disciplined, timeless, or Swiss-modernist — brand and identity systems, design systems and style guides, editorial, book, and poster layouts, and especially transit/wayfinding signage and route diagrams. Triggers: Vignelli, design system, identity system, brand guidelines, wayfinding, transit signage, subway map, route diagram, poster layout, timeless typography, 品牌规范, 导视系统.
