Atholhu
Independent journalism earns readers on the reporting, so the design stays out of the writing's way.
The brief
Atholhu publishes news, reports, and features in Dhivehi. The brief was a reading experience that holds long-form reporting in Thaana without fighting the reader.
What we built
- Front pageNews, reporting, and features are kept apart, with a lead story and a most-read list, so a reader sees what matters today.
- Article pagesDhivehi typography tuned for long reads in Thaana, right to left, without fighting the reader.
- Markets stripKey economic figures with small trend lines, readable at a glance above the business news.
- Prayer timesToday's prayer times in the masthead, because readers check them every day.
- SectionsSports, opinion columns, and video each get their own row, so regular readers find their section fast.
