Channeling the intention to detail in investigative journalism through type

Spit research collective
Brief

Spit is a Dutch collective of freelance journalists that practices investigative journalism. Spit engages in thorough and solid research that uncovers truths and tell stories about the inner-workings of politics and our society. They reached out to us to develop a new visual identity and language to convey their research and stories.

Approach

To emphasize their philosophy on journalism we created a text-based visual identity that does right by the quality and quantity of Spit’s investigations. In a time where news is consumed in a snappy and snack-like manner, we wanted to highlight the effort and attention to detail that goes into building a case and telling a story.

We developed a graphic system that allows a user to highlight and alter text styles to add nuance and apply focus where needed. Writing an article, research paper, story or think piece takes time and attention. This principle is translated to a fresh and contemporary visual identity with classical elements serving multiple target audiences.

Accompanying this is a expansive website that sheds light on important stories and houses an extensive archive.
