Did anybody else find the font distracting? The little connecting thing between "st" is too ostentatious, particularly when the site does not respect other typographical conventions, like the difference between n- and m- dashes. (See, for example, the parenthetical statement in the second sentence. It should use the m- rather than the n- dash usually reserved for hyphenated words.)
Edit: On second viewing, the issue with strange "st" font artifacts was fixed when I enabled java-script.
- bazzargh 10y agoI was going to reply, you don't seem to be seeing the font that's on the page. The font they're using is a renamed copy of Baskerville eText, and it doesn't have an 'st' ligature. It does have 'ff' and 'fi', you can see a sample here: http://myfonts.us/td-JZwQMI http://myfonts.us/td-JZwQMI The css for the page enables ligatures however, and falls back to the browser's own serif; so you were probably seeing the ligatures from your own default font. I'm guessing Adobe Caslon Pro, because it's widely available and has a very distinct loop ligature for 'st'. http://myfonts.us/td-C4VrUX http://myfonts.us/td-C4VrUX
