This is the header to the Local section of the News-Gazette. Its purpose is to tell you what section of the paper you're reading, as well as who the editors of the paper are. It's a fairly simple design, with only black and white and a little bit of blue. It's not supposed to be decorative, so the fonts are kept simple. The typeface isn't Helvetica, but it's similiar and set on a grid, making everything legible and understandable. The only ornamentation comes in the form of the newpaper's title on the right-hand side. The typeface looks gothic to me, so I think it's supposed to look almost Victorian in nature. It's such a familiar typeface for those of us who subscribe to The News-Gazette, and has been used for so long it's recognized by the majority of people who live in or around Champaign.
