Bloomberg
What’s notable: A consciously brutalist news design — black/white/saturated-yellow palette, blocky slab-serif headlines (custom AT Sackers / Bloomberg Sans), dense information modules stacked without breathing room. The home page is intentionally aggressive in its information density, evoking the Bloomberg Terminal aesthetic. Asymmetric grids that prioritize hierarchy over symmetry. Reads as “we have so much news we can’t soften any of it.”
Why this matters as a reference: the canonical example of web-brutalism applied to a credible heritage publisher, not a hobbyist project. Information density as authority.
