Ideal for landing pages, modern websites. AI-ready template. Investigative journalism has always demanded a visual language that says: trust this. The tradition runs deep — from the broadsheet gravity of the early New York Times to the stark, almost clinical layouts ProPublica pioneered in the digital era. These publications understood something fundamental: when you're asking readers to spend forty minutes with a corruption exposé, the design cannot compete with the content. It must recede. It must signal rigor. The Guardian's 2018 redesign crystallized this thinking for the web age. Egyptian Slab headlines. Generous whitespace. A type hierarchy so clear you could navigate a 6,000-word investigation without ever feeling lost. The Intercept pushed further — monospaced accents, document-style callouts, layouts that evoked declassified files. Every choice whispered authenticity. What connects these approaches isn't minimalism for its own sake. It's restraint as editorial position. The sobriety of the page becomes an argument: we did the work, we have the evidence, we don't need to shout. Typography carries the weight that sensationalism refuses to. - Density: 3/10 — Airy - Variance: 2/10 — Structured - Motion: 4/10 — Subtle - **Style:** Serious, Informative, Authoritative - **Keywords:** investigative journalism, news, analysis, authoritative, informative, serious, clean, structured, deep, trustworthy - **Era:** 2026+ Informação Crítica - **Light/Dark:** ✓ Full / ✗ No ## Colors - **Cinza Escuro** (#2C3E50) — Dark surface, primary background - **Branco** (#FFFFFF) — Light surface, card backgrounds - **Vermelho Escuro** (#8B0000) — Dark surface, primary background - **Preto** (#000000) — Dark surface, primary background - **Azul Marinho** (#001F3F) — Secondary accent - **Verde Oliva** (#6B8E23) — Success states, positive indicators - **Amarelo Ocre** (#CC7722) — Warning states, attention indicators - **Cinza Claro** (#E0E0E0) — Secondary text, borders, muted elements ## Typography - **Display / Hero:** Merriweather — Weight 700, tight tracking, used for headline impact - **Body:** Merriweather — Weight 400, 16px/1.6 line-height, max 72ch per line - **UI Labels / Captions:** Merriweather — 0.875rem, weight 500, slight letter-spacing - **Monospace:** JetBrains Mono — Used for code, metadata, and technical values Scale: - Hero: clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem) - H1: 2.25rem - H2: 1.5rem - Body: 1rem / 1.6 - Small: 0.875rem ## Layout - **Grid:** CSS Grid primary.
