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.
