I like what the design team of The Washington Post has done with this front page special report. It is a fantastic example of using typography as the main visual on the page.
The story is told directly and effectively through the words in this cascading headline, with contrast of black and gray.
Who will not be lured to the story with this special treatment?
Bravo to the WaPo team for a job well done.
