I have always used a basic grid system, I have always used a type face and size suitable for the job, it must have been luck and a lot of trial and error, I know my designs could be improved, I would like to use strict guides to apply font sizes and grid layouts, looking at Muller's work, it seems perfectly balanced, miimalistic.
I suppose I have always used a grid system but I have wasted a lot of hours getting it right, in terms of type and balance.
p.s. here is a good article:
