The Milanese Newspaper

Client: University Project Role: Editorial Designer · Art Direction This project didn’t start with a headline. It started with a city. Milan, a place of layers, pace, politics, and design, became the subject of a newspaper imagined not just to report, but to reflect. The task was to define a visual system, a kit of parts, that could hold the rhythm of daily news without losing the city’s character. I approached it like building architecture in print: structure first, then detail, then the people who move through it. The design had to be modular, clear, responsive, but also Milanese. Sharp, deliberate, but never cold. The Milanese isn’t about nostalgia for print. It’s about treating print as a living system, something that adapts, assembles, and holds the tempo of its place. A space where type meets tone, and where layout becomes voice.
