Theatrical Newspaper / 13.9.2009
“Divadelní noviny”, a biweekly for Czech theatre community, underwent radical redesign. After three months of work, the first issue featuring new design was just published. The reason of this change was to make it more attractive for young readers while not disturbing the older ones. Navigation elements are strong and legible, large header helps improve the orientation. Right-ragged columns, subheadlines, pull-quotes and lead paragraphs break the monotonous look of individual pages. “Divadelní noviny” feature basic five-column layout together with additional four-column one completed by a narrow column for quotes and captions. Text font is Karmina, some elements are set in Karmina Sans, headline typeface is Bree, all by Type Together.
