Nick S: I'd rather see the type and typography evoke what the original did when & where it was published, which means it cannot look exactly the same now. Think for example of what Trajan felt like before everybody and their neighbor's dog used the Adobe font for whatever the hell they wanted.
Nick C: Peons find convincing what they're told is convincing. That's why Democracy can't work.
