One irony about this article is the fact that it, like all pages on NYTimes.com, uses stupid little hyphens to separate the sections of the page’s title (which appears in your browser’s title-bar) rather than some sort of dash.
That’s the problem with loving typography. It’s always a pleasure to discover a formally gorgeous, subtly expressive typeface while walking along a street or leafing through a magazine.
Indeed. And, you’ve got to love the English language: consider the marked difference between the meanings of ‘formally gorgeous’ (of typefaces) and ‘formerly gorgeous’ (of washed-up movie starlets).
