017Open Figures
Honest, labelled data writing: a navy masthead, a yellow band holding a white title card, and charts in quiet frames with units on every tick.

The signature
Data writing with nothing to hide. Every chart sits in a 1px frame with a serif title, dashed gridlines, units written on each tick, values printed on the marks and direct labels instead of legends. The ink is navy-blue rather than black, and the only showy thing is the cover: a navy masthead over a yellow band with a centred white title card.
