NY Times actually, lol, I dare you not to read an article titled "A Subway Typeface History" that includes the quote: ..."a battlefield filled with typographers and color-experts locked in mortal combat." Ahhh, the splackle of clashing color swatches and pica rules in the morning.

I stopped reading that paper after they gave Kristol a column. If that wasn’t a giant red flag that says “our editors just don’t care anymore” I don’t know what is.
