Have Houses To Do
With News Faces?
A house without any contrast of structural lines is a barn. Atleast, that's what most folks would say.
A house that was painted the same color all over-any color-would be lifeless and unwanted, regardless of structural lines. Ask any real estate operator.
A house makes its appeal to the eye.
The same is true with a news face.
Type that has no relief in structural lines-type that is the same color all over-type that has insufficient contrast between high letters and low letters such type is low in readability.
Intertype IDEAL News Face is the
VARITONED Modern News Face that is modeled after the type that most of your readers were raised on-the type they first saw in their school booksthe type that most educators for many years have selected as the easiest type on the eyes.
Make sure that the news face on your newspaper is an asset for building good will toward your paper.
Don't be misled by first impressions.
Get all the facts about news faces especially those from the nearest office.
Then compare and decide.

News to me

Washington Post article screenshot with “We know sun exposure is unhealthy” highlighted:

Kennedy's tan, like the glow of his would-be boss, Trump, is unnatural, probably chemically enhanced. That absurd t, cinematic shade may be the point: We know sun exposure is unhealthy, yet we see a tan, however faux, as "heanthy." Just as we know members of Kennedy's family have disavowed him and his beliefs — yet he is the picture of a Kennedy.

70% Hispanic: Harris –37%, Trump +55%
70% Black: Harris –21%, Trump. +46%
90% white: Harris –18%, Trump –2%

(Unclear to me if this is NYC or USA)

Did I ever tell you how I actually came across Real Life Mag? Was desperately googling (in quotes) the secondary slogans from that Equinox MAKE YOURSELF A GIFT campaign to reassure myself I wasn’t the only one BSoD’s by them. Turns out it was just me and Emma Baker. reallifemag.com/make-yoursel...
