Neo-modernism is the tool that Carmen Dunjko (shift) and David Pratt (The Globe and Mail) are using to project the message. It’s a step beyond the old bare-bones functionality.

In a culture where nothing changes, even a small change is momentous, and that’s what just happened at the Wall Street Journal. Renovation may better describe the subtle changes in the Wall Street Journal’s first makeover since the Second World War.

Text Talk: Online Forums Emerge as Beacons of Typography 
How does one stay up-to-date on typography? It would be nice if there were a regular trade magazine covering type business and technology, reviewing new typefaces, type books, font management tools, and software applications, with features on type issues, typographers and design projects (for instance, publication redesigns). But there isn’t, and it ain’t gonna happen—the marketing dollars that could support such a venture are too few and far between.

Toward Identifying the Font Used in the Bush Memos
The following evidence from a forensic examination of the Bush memos indicates that they were typed on a typewriter: 1. The specific font used is from a typewriter family in common use since 1905 and a typewriter capable of producing the spacing has been available since 1944. 2. The characters “e,” “t,” “s,” and “a” show indications of physical damage and/or wear consistent with a well used typewriter. 3. The characters that are seldom used show no signs of damage or wear. 4. The quality of individual characters is inconsistent throughout the memos beyond expectations from photocopying and/or digitizing but quality is consistent with worn platen and variations in paper quality. 5. Overlapping characters occasionally indicate paper deformation consistent with hammered impressions. 6. Critical indicators of digital production or cut and paste production are missing. Implications are that there is nothing in this evidence that would indicate the memos are inauthentic. Furthermore, from the point of view of the physical evidence in the documents (excluding any rhetorical evidence or external evidence, which is not examined in this study) no amount of additional research on the part of CBS would have lead them to exclude the documents from their 60 Minutes report.
