YOU are a VICTIM of LOREM IPSUM.
Yes you are! How idiotic is it that designers still use 400 year old techniques for web text? Pretty dumb, if you ask me.
Click-through to the huge image to read why. You can also buy this, if you’re so inclined—it certainly looks better on a non-white background.
So, strictly speaking, this probably didn’t need to happen.
The flagged image, while on the small side, was a nice, lossless .png and may or may not have been better kerned. But it was tagged for SVG, and I was too big an Old School Mac nerd to let it slide.
Plus now you can get it instantly in a 2000 pixel size. TWO THOUSAND PIXELS! For a font originally designed to be rendered as a bitmap on a screen about the width of your Tumblr dashboard.

It's funny because I have no idea what the New York Times actually looks like in print.
I mean, I knew they probably didn’t really use Georgia, but…
Anyway, thanks to this article, I now know the history, ins, and outs of the typeface I’ll never that publication use—unless Hoefler & Frere-Jones’ super-secret scheme pans out.
