Behold that type attack!

Sometimes it is time that rescues the designer, and pleases the reader. Let’s look at these type attacks from the Sunday New York Times Magazine.

Bold and furious is how I would describe these “type attacks” in the Sunday, September 9, Sunday New York Times Magazine.

The boldness of the type corresponds well with the theme of the series of stories: teachers are underpaid and many have to have second jobs to make a living.

Take a look. Not only is the type the protagonist here, but also the color palette used to differentiate between articles.

The cover is a splendidly bold type attack.
