There is no time to stew over mistakes when there is more to be done and there are more opportunities to prove myself again.

Typography plays an important role in journalism. While newspaper typefaces may not seem as exciting as the content itself, they are a mode of creative communication. The very curvature, shape and aesthetic of letters are often and understandably overlooked; the extent of the writing’s impact is usually contemplated through word choice and diction. From a visual perspective, however, the font is foundational; a paper’s main objective is to deliver information efficiently, and an effective message is elevated by clear design.

There is an indescribable satisfaction when we pick up a copy of the paper and see the physical manifestation of something that we’ve devoted so much attention to.
