This is the standard print edition of an Urdu newspaper in Pakistan. It folds in the middle and the news-stories are spread around in the top and bottom-half of the paper in a spatially descending format according to their importance. The main headline is written in the centre of the top-half with an special calligraphic font and carries a larger font-size than other news as it is obvious. Normally, the main headline is not spread out from one end (starting from right) to the other end of the page unless, the paper wants to stress the fateful nature of the headline content. In that case, the main-headline border which is enveloping here: a very thickset font, gushing decorative hyphens and slanted symbols around the text, runs horizontally across the page (referred to as an eight-column headline) as it can be seen in the posted image. The main-headline reads (literal translation):
*PCO: provisional constitution order enforced by the coup-maker to replace the constitution
