Research point - range of grids

This research reminded me of the Brockmann grids system which is a great guide on how to use texts and pictures in columns and lines within a page. However, I like more the "rebellion" which I saw in Zembla magazine. They use the grid system rules but with nice looking changes.

I think the grid system of Brockmann is perfect, no doubt, readable, in harmony. On the other side, the Zembla layout changes the feeling from mathematical, cold calculated layout into something more close to nature. It looks enhanced, shifted to another more beautiful state, I think.

Research:

I found that link with basic enough information about layout https://trydesignlab.com/blog/grids-ui-ux-graphic-design-quick-history-5-amazing-tips/#1 about grids.

I have a great book about the layout by Gavin Ambrose and Paul Harris as well the book Grid Systems in graphic design by Josef Müller-Brockmann.

Here is what I found:

Grid?

1. Baseline line - used with column
2. Column grid - symetric / asymetric - newspapers, magazines 
3. Modular grid - magazines and corporate report, art books
4. Manuscript grid - traditional books
5. Pixel grid - screens
6. Hierarchical grid - two superimposed grids
