The Brief

Editorial clarity

Crisp, unhurried and confident. Serif headlines, disciplined grids and a single signal-red accent. The closest to a classic newsroom — rebuilt for 2026.

Midnight Edition

Cinematic

An after-hours magazine built around photography. Full-bleed covers, Bodoni display type and a restrained gold accent make the serious feel unmissable.

Signal

Neo-brutalist

A news sheet with a pulse. Acid yellow, hard borders, cut-out portraiture and a bento grid built for scanning — loud without losing the argument.

Horizon

Calm & contemporary

A softer, card-based briefing. Sage and sky tones, rounded surfaces and quiet filters let readers choose a lane without feeling shouted at.

The Review

Modern broadsheet

A contemporary front page with a centred masthead, fine rules and long-form typography. The authority of print, without the dust — and a culture spread that gives Schiller room to breathe.
