Russian term

графический ход

Russian to English Art/Literary Printing & Publishing
This is at the beginning of a section explaining how to start designing a typeface. Context:

"У каждого шрифтовика свои приемы, но почти все начинают с того, что можно назвать шрифтовой идеей.
Это графический ход, найденный для одного-двух знаков."

I think I know what it's trying to say, but I just can't find the right words in English.

Any suggestions gratefully received :)

graphic device

As a native English speaker, "graphic device" sounds good to my ears as it is similar to "literary device". It sounds quite neutral and is basically a synonym for "прием" in Russian.
Example sentence:

When designing for iPad try to think of it as a wayfinding project where every graphic device serves a functional purpose.
