GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER FONT UPDATE
Readers in the UK can buy a copy of the paper in its new tabloid format from Monday if you’re an app user, you may need to update it to see the new design.The Guardian Australia is set for a digital redesign which coincides with the publishing powerhouse's print shake-up overseas.Ĭontinuing with Guardian Media Group's (GMG) three-year transformation plan, with the target of breaking even at operating level by April 2019, today it has revealed plans for new mastheads, colour palettes, font and logos. Peter always strived to make sure that, as he put it, the Guardian had pace, impact, and what he called “zing”. Peter was a brilliant editor, like his successor, Alan Rusbridger, and also a highly innovative one: he was editor when we first published on the web back in 1994. Guardian journalism itself will remain what it has always been: thoughtful, progressive, fiercely independent and challenging and also witty, stylish and fun.Īs you may know, my predecessor but one as editor of the Guardian, Peter Preston, died last week, which was very sad news for all of us at the Guardian. The masthead has a renewed strength and confidence to represent the Guardian’s place and mission in these challenging times. We’re using a range of energetic colours, and the much-loved Guardian visual wit and style remain at the heart of the look. This was a collaboration with the design experts Commercial Type, who created the original Guardian Egyptian, and is easier to read. We have introduced a font called Guardian Headline that is simple, confident and impactful. We have thought carefully about how our use of typography, colour and images can support and enhance Guardian journalism. For several months, a team including our exceptional creative director Alex Breuer and senior editors and designers have been discussing and refining the Guardian’s new look, as well as gathering invaluable feedback from readers. These hopeful themes of clarity and imagination have also been our guiding principles as the Guardian’s new design has taken shape. We have grounded our new editions in the qualities readers value most in Guardian journalism: clarity, in a world where facts should be sacred but are too often overlooked imagination, in an age in which people yearn for new ideas and fresh alternatives to the way things are. We feel a deep sense of duty and responsibility to our readers to honour the trust you place in us. This relationship is not just about the news it’s about a shared sense of purpose and a commitment to understand and illuminate our times.
We hope you like it.Īt the Guardian we have a special relationship with our readers. It’s been an exhilarating period of creativity, imagination and focus, and we’re thrilled with the result. We decided then that we also wanted to redesign the Guardian for our global readership online – to create a beautiful new design that works for readers across mobile, apps and desktop. Today, our newspaper is being printed in a new tabloid format for the first time, a decision we took seven months ago. In a letter posted on its website this morning, Guardian editor-in-chief Katharine Viner wrote:
