For fans of infographics, the Journal section also includes 'The Briefing' which features plentiful data presented in creative and colourful ways. Journal includes a blend of Guardian columnists, long reads, letters, obituaries and puzzles (on its back page). They have also introduced some new supplements, notably the daily Journal section. The Guardian design team, led by creative directors Alex Breuer and Chris Clarke, have tied the supplementary sections into the main newspaper in such a way as to ensure they remain independent – for family sharing – yet connected to the overall publication. The Guardians name also now spans two decks which, somewhat controversially, squeezes the lead headline, story and picture into the bottom two-thirds of the page.Īnother perhaps surprising touch is the choice of red for bylines which does add a tabloid-esque edge to the overall first impression. New York and London-based foundry Commercial Type have reworked the Guardian Egyptian Headline typeface to create a new Guardian Headline typeface, immediately noticeable due largely to its sharper serifs. The name on the new masthead has reverted to capitals and will be black against the paper's white background. If you need reminding, since 2005 the broadsheet Guardian has featured the paper's name in either white on blue or blue on white with the entire name in lower case type. The masthead certainly reflects that bold step with a radical departure from its predecessor. Guardian editor-in-chief Katharine Viner has spoken of the new design as asserting the strength and confidence of the Guardian amidst turbulent political times. So what can readers expect from the new-look compact which hit newsstands on Monday morning? An overhauled masthead complete with new typeface In the face of year-on-year losses and questions over the relevance of print in a digital era, The Guardian and The Observer have become the latest UK newspapers to dispense with the broadsheet format and opt for a cost-saving tabloid design (their term, not ours!).
