You’re Hurting My Eyes
Hey guys, I know these are tough financial time, ad revenues are probably down, yadda yadda. Your new format (obviously designed to save a few pages) is not working, however—at least not for my significant other and me. The smaller text causes eye strain (at least when trying to read it from a comfortable distance) and the printing over an earth-toned colored field is even less visible. We both commented that neither of us even finished reading the Jan. 22 issue and felt like we almost needed a magnifying glass. Hell, we’re way too young for that. If you’re absolutely hung up on the type size (which I think is ill-advised), consider using a nice clean sans-serifed typeface like the one you use for News Quirks.
