Fresh style for 'Independent'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ISSUE 2,000 of the Independent is marked today with a new look and a new style.
Six and a half years after its launch, the newspaper has undergone a major re-design with new typography, new graphics and a new way of displaying photographs with extra white space on the right-hand side, giving them a more dramatic visual appeal.
There is also an extra page of comment and analysis, a third leader and more topical features.
The new typeface, which applies to all articles and headlines, is a version of Plantin which has a classical, traditional appearance. It originated with Christophe Plantin, court printer to King Philip II of Spain, whose most famous production was the eight-volume Polyglot Bible (1568-73).
The Monotype Plantin Old Style is believed to be one of the main sources for Times New Roman developed in 1931.
