Swift and Franklin make Metro an easy read
Article Abstract:
Gerard Unger's Swift and Franklin Gothic are the typeface designs that make Swedish newspaper 'Metro' readable. Swift's stroke thickness and large serifs that give a strong horizontal emphasis and the way meeting points between round and straight elements in the letters are presented make the newspaper easy to read. The design of the newspaper manifests its objective, that is to provide readers with an easy access to more stories.

A new Sun rises in Quebec City
Article Abstract:
Designing a newspaper nameplate is a difficult task especially when art is being considered in redesigning the header. It is also important to know the history of a newspaper since its founding and preserving the original source of inspiration used in the design should be considered when making any changes. Quebec City's newspaper 'La Soleil' is an example where typographical balance in the nameplate should be properly fixed.
