Rewarding to read
Clear structure, expressive typography and precise information design for readers who need to understand, cite and come back to the work.
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.
Selected commissionsWWFASCECity of DawsonHoloceneHofseth
Every substantial publication now has two readers.
We design for both.
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.

02 / What we designSubstance,
Substance,
beautifully
resolved.
For research institutes, engineering and environmental consultancies, and institutions with something substantial to publish.
01Flagship 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 outlooks02Technical 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 & guidance03Environmental & 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 reports04Corporate 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 · Monographs05Commissioned 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 productionEditorial architecture / Art direction / Typography / Data visualization / Long-document production
03 / The approachFrom manuscript
From manuscript
to meaningful edition.
Understand
We establish the audience, scope, manuscript readiness, responsibilities, and delivery requirements.
Structure
We map the editorial architecture and develop the visual direction through representative sample pages.
Give form
We build the complete system of text, images, graphics, and navigation. Content questions go back to the authors.
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 studioA close collaborator.
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.
