Typography 2020: A special listicle for America
May 6, 2019 5:08 AM   Subscribe

For those who think it trivializes our political process to judge candidates by their typography—what would you prefer we scrutinize? Qualifications? Ground into dust during the last election. Issues? Be my guest. Whether a candidate will ever fulfill a certain campaign promise about a certain issue is conjectural. But typography—that’s a real decision candidates have to make today, with real money and real consequences. And if I can’t trust you to pick some reasonable fonts and colors, then why should I trust you with the nuclear codes?

The author has a user-hostile landing page if you click through on a link, so if you want to read the actual article, you have to cut at paste rather than clicking.

Odd, I didn't see that interrupting page when I first visited the site, and it seems once you have visited a page, you don't see it anymore.

Anyway, you can visit the front page and navigate to the campaign typography article from there; it's near the bottom of the page in the "Commentary" section. (And I think it's interesting enough to be worth the extra scroll-down and click.)
