Which design system is used here: http://perfectionalism.tumblr.com/post/22604543313

I'm trying to learn about the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci, so curious about what is used here.

I don't see any "system". Note that things like Golden Ration aren't really "systems". They're just bits of math people like to use for layouts. Not all design layouts are based on specific math. Sometimes it's just "what looks good". – DA01 May 8 '12 at 15:18

I think the setup is very minimalistic, which is especially popular in Western webdesign and definitely in North Western Europe. Minimalistic setups are:

  • clean and show no clutter
  • Innovative
  • Less is more in concept
  • Detailed - Not loud, but all details worked out
  • Smart in use of whitespace
  • Functional/scalable in use of typography
  • limited in choice of colors - basic color palette

A good article on this can be found in an article at "We are Pro People"
