I had two minds about typing a reply to you, as it would be the beginning of a tangential discussion on something else rather than the article in question... but, (edit: this seems to be the topmost comment on the page, as I write, so I felt impelled to add my voice as well) Opinions on fonts are very hard to quantify. The font in question, used here is Alegreya, and I've found that it is both aesthetic and pleasing to the eyes. I use it as default font in MS-word/Libreoffice and also as a font replacement (using Stylish - FF, font replace table - Opera addons) in my browsers. So, as a regular user of the font in question precisely because of its (in my view,) readability and aesthetics, I respectfully disagree with some of the opinions you make about the font, regardless of how learned your opinion appears to be. :-)
