Beautiful for people.
Legible to machines.

Reportory designs substantial publications for research organisations, consultancies and institutions: rewarding for people to read, semantically structured for accessibility, and easier for software to search, extract and retrieve.

Two readers

Every substantial publication now has two readers.
We design for both.

People

Rewarding to read

Clear structure, expressive typography and precise information design for readers who need to understand, cite and come back to the work.

Machines

Legible to software

Semantic structure, a defined reading order and accessibility-aware production, so screen readers, search indexes and AI tools can find, extract and retrieve what the page says. Tested, not assumed.

For think tanks, research institutes, consultancies, design studios and institutions whose reports are recurring, strategic outputs, not one-off brochures.

01 / Selected work

Evidence.
With presence.

02 / What we design

Substance,
beautifully
resolved.

For research institutes, engineering and environmental consultancies, and institutions with something substantial to publish.

01

Flagship research & industry reports

Studies an institution puts its name to: research programmes, industry outlooks, and benchmark assessments, with a clear argument and room for the evidence.

Research reports · Benchmark studies · Industry outlooks
02

Technical studies & engineering reports

Technical and scientific material — methods, measurements, drawings, appendices — organised so a specialist can verify it and a decision-maker can act on it.

Engineering studies · Technical reports · Standards & guidance
03

Environmental & social impact assessments

Documents with a statutory reader and a public one at the same time: baseline, impact, mitigation, and monitoring, each traceable to its source.

Impact assessments · Baseline studies · Monitoring reports
04

Corporate histories & institutional monographs

Anniversary books and commemorative volumes: archive material, oral history, and photography built into a publication meant to last decades.

Anniversary books · Corporate histories · Monographs
05

Commissioned studies & client deliverables

The substantial document that closes an engagement. Produced in your design system or ours, credited or white-label.

Consultancy studies · Audits · White-label production

03 / The approach

From manuscript
to meaningful edition.

01

Understand

We establish the audience, scope, manuscript readiness, responsibilities, and delivery requirements.

02

Structure

We map the editorial architecture and develop the visual direction through representative sample pages.

03

Give form

We build the complete system of text, images, graphics, and navigation. Content questions go back to the authors.

04

Refine & deliver

We coordinate revisions and agreed checks, with content-owner approval and preparation of the final editions.

The right edition for the job.

Print and screen editions, navigable PDFs, and organized source handover. Accessibility requirements, specialist checks, and print coordination are agreed at the start of each commission.

04 / The studio

A close collaborator.
A considered result.

Reportory is the independent editorial design practice of Raphael Albinati.

The practice brings experience in research publications, technical and institutional documents, and substantial reporting to the design of complex, long-form work. Structure and visual character are developed together, with close attention to the material and the people who will use it.
