One thing Ive noticed is font size has gotten smaller and Ive gotten older. It’s painful to read the financial times today, as well as other items I once enjoyed.

I've also gotten the impression of trends toward less-clear (but more "fancier") fonts, and lower contrast.

If they're trying to look artistic with text that nobody's gonna read, then it's a win.

Lower contrast saves on ink?
