Redesigning Fonts and layout for The Independent...

Reading an article on Taxi.com by Jullian Wong that draws attention to the new redesign at the Independent magazine.  Typeface designer was a guy called Henrik Kubel.

The Redesign includes:
New Typeface "Indy"
Has 14 fonts: 
Sans, 
Serif, 
Italic,
Condensed 
(all in Bold, Light and Medium)

Hairline (header) 
Numbers only.

Layout changes include:
Less mid length articles, leaving short or long articles, leaving more white space.
Flexibility on word counts of articles.

Wong heralds 
"The Independent looks like a stylish literary magazine rather than a national newspaper, achieving the brief’s goal of ‘bold sophistication’ and setting it apart from other news publications."
