Truth is a magazine which talks about the taboos and breaks the misconceptions, based on facts – so, there is no place for fake news!

We live in an era where communication dominates, yet society still pushes us to stay silent about certain taboos. Truth is the magazine that says out loud what is too often whispered. Grounded in facts, free of propaganda—this magazine delivers nothing but the truth.

Although Truth tackles serious themes, its layout remains playful and accessible. Bold illustrations—sourced from Francesco Ciccolella and Jean Jullien—play a central role, helping readers quickly grasp each topic through visuals, quotes and fact boxes alongside in-depth articles. The design invites readers to set their own pace: skim the essentials or dive deep into a full, linear read.

Not only are illustrations given an important place, but also playful interactions with letters, as long as the article’s theme is quickly conveyed to the reader.
