A new font, redesigned lead paragraphs, and more boxes with information and quotes. The commuter newspaper *20 Minuten* was published on Monday with a subtly refreshed layout.
The redesign is a result of the merger of 20 Minutes and Le Matin Bleu in French-speaking Switzerland, as 20 Minutes Managing Director Marcel Kohler and Editor-in-Chief Marco Boselli write in a press release. As part of the merger of the two commuter newspapers, various design elements from Le Matin Bleu—in addition to editorial content—have been incorporated into the layout of 20 Minutes. This design evolution is also reflected in the layout of 20 Minuten in German-speaking Switzerland. According to the press release, the refresh gives the paper a «certain Latin playfulness» without diluting its perception as a national media brand. The subtle redesign was overseen by designers Mary Jane Fahey from New York and Marianna Ochs from Rio de Janeiro.
