Are you sarcastically suggesting that the best thing about the article is the font -- and since the font is nothing special, there's nothing special about the article? If so, that's hilarious and you deserve upvotes.

Are you just using a computer that happens to have the right font installed so that you see the beautiful, but unfortunately not universal, font the article uses? If so, it might be useful to realize that fonts are only visible when you have the installed on your computer. It looks (from the stylesheet) like the site uses Helvetica Neue, degrading to Arial, Helvetica, and finally to sans-serif. Helvetica Neue is basically just a marginal improvement on Helvetica; good, but hardly what I'd call "beautiful" in a breathless tone. It's also far from a universally available font.

Are you just really that naive about commonly available fonts? If so, I'm afraid your comment is a waste of time.



Well, sorry. Maybe I don't have the font that I'm supposed to have installed, but the default that came up is stunning. I was being truthful with my comment.
