Please get a new body font. Yours is too big, round, and identical-looking for my eyes. It's a bunch of big circles evenly spaced from each other. It makes me google. And I don't mean that the internet way. I can't marvel at your words when I am leaning 18 inches back from the computer squinting to try to make them normal sized.
I know, you don't want to look like the NYT, your number one enemy and hated outsider. Hence, you refuse to have an easily navigable front page that zips readers to other section fronts. That I can dig, you are not alone there. Also, you always have a link to the twice-weekly "lean plate club," which is a dorky name and a relatively unhelpful column that reiterates conventional wisdom. Yet other sections columns don't get the same kind of play. Why is that?
You are different from the Times and the WSJ. I can accept that.
But I can't accept your font.
