Concept 03 · Type as Art

A web design studio · set entirely in two typefaces

hello@basebloomdesign.com

The studio that treats a website like a front page

n.  the point where a foundation turns into a flourish — where the grid is allowed to sing.

Bricolage Grotesque 200–800 · Newsreader 6–72 opt · paper / ink / cobalt / coral / acid


01Manifesto

We are a studio that can build anything — and that is precisely why we don't. Restraint is the discipline that makes versatility worth having. On this page there is exactly one commissioned plate, no stock photography, no particles, no dimensions beyond the two you are reading in. If the argument holds with letterforms and a single image, imagine what we could do unsupervised.

Good type is a
point of view
you can read.

Every brief gets the same first question: what deserves to be enormous? Answer that honestly and the rest of the page designs itself — hierarchy is just honesty at scale.


Abstract overprint art plate: gestural cobalt, coral and chartreuse forms on warm paper
Plate I · Overprint study Commissioned in-palette from a generative press (Recraft V4.1, art-directed to these five inks) — because taste includes knowing what to delegate, and what to art-direct.

02Practice

03Proof

One sentence, five voices. Range is only worth something when every size still sounds like you — read down the sheet and notice nothing breaks:

96 / display

Taste is a deliverable.

48 / headline

Taste is a deliverable.

24 / deck

Taste is a deliverable.

16 / text

Taste is a deliverable — it ships with every project, or the project doesn't ship.

11 / caption

Taste is a deliverable. Set in Newsreader italic at caption size, where most sites stop caring. We don't.
