About BBC News

BBC News is the visual language of a century-old public broadcaster distilled into typographic authority. BBC Red marks urgency and the NEWS wordmark; deep Navy anchors navigation and category chrome; everything else recedes to white space and charcoal type. The 2017 Reith typeface — commissioned from Dalton Maag — gives the BBC a proprietary voice that works from broadcast lower-thirds to mobile headlines, replacing decades of Gill Sans dependence with a modern humanist family built for screens.
