How Long Until Typography Becomes Political? Biden Campaign Updates Fonts
Already is political in the nationalist/racist sense. See: Fraktur and the drama that unfolded in the forties and now today. There is an awesome 99% Invisible podcast about it.
The ‘Mercury’ typeface was also designed by Tobias Frere-Jones when he was working with Jonathon Hoefler under the company H&FJ before they split.
Strange that the Decimal font example doesn’t match the font on the Biden posters. Just look at the capital A. It comes to a point on the posters, but is flat in the example.
