Hate the New Headlines

Posted by on December 12 at 12:05 PM

Sorry, this might be my only post today, as I have a splitting headache—and it’s pure inside baseball.

I hate the new Slog headlines. I think they’re… skinny and twee and pretentious. Am I alone?

Yes

Yes, you hate them too?

Bring back the old fonts, they were perfect.

Yes, you are alone, I'm afraid. I like the new style better.

The first thing I noticed on ye olde Slog. Bring back the old school bold sans serif. Much easier on thee eyes.

Old headlines were superior. These new ones seem annoyingly quaint and staid.

I think they look pretty. The problem is that there's a clash of personalities going on between the font and the actual content. The Slog is way too down-and-dirty for that look, so it rings fake.

Looks like the aesthetics are a crowd splitter, but maybe we can agree that the new serifed font is harder to read?

dude, so fucking over twee, please kill the new headlines ASAP

The new headlines are much better.. you can actually tell what is a headline now.

I have to say... yeah, I hate the new headlines.

Dan, I love you, but you just used the word "twee" and *you're* complaining about pretentiousness? I'm just saying...
Actually, I'm just sad I didn't know the word "twee" until you said it - I've lost some wasp cred here...
