The print edition of the Boston Herald has been redesigned. It seems pretty subtle. The only difference I can detect on the front is that the headline type is blockier.
Executive editor Joe Dwinell calls it a “sharper look” that offers “a much richer reading experience.”
Some of the headlines now appear in italics.
The news section looks cleaner. Staff reporters have their email addresses listed.
The Herald’s last full redesign, as I recall, came in 1998. The paper was remade to look like a tabloid version of USA Today, and it was beautifully done. Over the next few years, as circulation began to slide, the paper was tarted up. I don’t know if I’d call this a complete redesign, but it appears to be an improvement.

Takes me back to doing headlines and layout in HS. Looks that way, too. I wonder if there’s a rhyme or reason for the italic headlines as opposed to the regular bold?
