We acknowledge that such trans-species caregiving may in fact be a form of control. In recognition of this paradox, the new structures are aesthetically based on the architecture of Giuseppe Terragni, an Italian Fascist active in the 1930s.

The latest issue of The Freeman shows a complete redesign, with a curious choice of typefaces. The body is Goudy. Main titles and pull-quotes are Times Roman. Running heads and the titles of reviewed books are in Myriad. By-lines and sub-heads are Franklin Gothic (or something similar).
I’ve nothing against Goudy, but I don’t think it’s only my notorious conservatism that makes me prefer the old design, which was entirely(?) in various forms of Minion (serif) and Myriad (sans) — two faces designed to go together.
