Internazionale magazine, 2019
On the cover of the issue dated March 7 2019 we see a photograph of Greta Thunberg. The cover story was about the mobilization of young people from all over the world against the delay of adults in addressing the problem of climate change.
Internazionale is an Italian independent weekly magazine. We publish the best articles from the worldwide quality press translated into Italian. The layout of the magazine was designed by Mark Porter in 2009. After the first Internazionale issue in his new design, he wrote: “The restyling is finished. But the life of the new project is just beginning. The real test will be how you readers will find you in the years to come.”
Fast forward to 2019. Ten years later, Porter is still involved with the magazine’s team, and the magazine still uses the same typeface for all copy: Lyon, designed by Kai Bernau. The magazine logo was designed in 2014 based on Lyon, and evolved into a custom typeface – Internazionale Stencil – which is used alongside Lyon in the magazine and on the magazine website.
The first section of the magazine is dedicated to current events. For section headers we use Lyon’s stencil version. This double page is about current events in Sudan.
The central section of the magazine is dedicated to reportages and investigative reports. The layout is freer and we can play with the font size for more interesting effects.
The final section of the magazine is dedicated to culture. The layout is fixed and based on two larger columns plus a smaller one on the side for additional info. It usually includes illustrations.

In 2015, CarvalhoBernau drew a custom Greek version of the magazine logo, used on a cover that focused on the financial struggles between Greece and the EU.
Amazing how they don’t put a sans serif anywhere, not even for the tiniest auxiliary purpose (except the legally required barcode).
