ALIGN

Find center. Build from there.

Use the center axis and indexing guides to establish a reference point before the page begins to fill.


FRAME

See the structure before you commit.

The central window helps establish proportions, margins, columns, and relationships before making permanent marks.

MEASURE

Metric on one edge. Imperial on the other.

Two familiar measuring systems stay available without adding another tool to the page.

MARK

A small visual language, always at hand.

Integrated stencils give common symbols a consistent form without dictating what those symbols have to mean.

○ □ → △ ★ !

STRUCTURE

Repeat spacing without prescribing a system.

5 mm and 7 mm indexing notches make repeated spacing fast and consistent while leaving the layout entirely yours.
