Study Task 7 - Development

Name Considerations

Definitions for words associated with modular typography:

Modular 
- employing or involving a module or modules as the basis of design or construction
- relating to modulus 

Grid 
- a framework of spaced bars that are parallel to or cross each other; a grating 
- a network of lines that cross each other to form a series of squares or rectangles 

Modulus 
- another term for absolute value 
- a constant factor or ratio
- a number used as a divisor for considering numbers in sets, numbers being considered congruent when giving the same remainder when divided by a particular modulus.
- literally means 'measure' in Latin

Modules
- each of a set of standardized parts or independent units that can be used to construct a more complex structure, such as an item of furniture or a building 

Defining words around the theme of modular forms and grid structures has allowed the discovery of terms that are less obvious but still understandable. The grids have been created from one component which is then repeated to form the overall design. Modules makes reference to the starting point of all the systems making it an appropriate and concise name for the sketchbook.
