# Visual System

Style name: Newspaper Front Page

## Core DNA

- Off-white newsprint with visible paper grain and slight ink spread, closed at the top by a double rule and divided by thin black column rules into a narrow left column, a wide center and a narrow right column.
- Left column stacking a solid red feature flag, a bold kicker headline, a coarse halftone photo, tiny mincho body text and a red-square item list.
- Giant front-page headline in heavy black gothic with rough ink texture and the closing word in red.
- Lead deck where the subline sits between doubled red rules.
- Boxed articles bounded by hairline black rules, each opened by a solid red square number chip.
- Monochrome halftone-style illustrations with dotted screens instead of smooth fills.
- Exactly three solid red caption bands with widely letterspaced white Japanese labels, each with a one-line mincho caption beneath.
- Bold red arrows sitting in the gutters between boxes.
- Right column stacking black TODAY'S FACTS and KEY INSIGHT header bars over boxed statistics with oversized red figures and dotted separators.
- Full-width bottom ruled box with a globe line icon, heavy black text, a red emphasis phrase, a red underline and a rising-bar glyph.

## Intended Use

ニュース解説、業界動向、緊急共有、社内号外の回に使う。新聞一面の段組と太い見出し、囲み記事で「今読むべき重要ニュース」の質感を出す。

## Page Architecture

- One oversized headline.
