The whitehouse.gov item is quite the blast from the past:

Good article. Too preachy.
In what way? seems quite balanced and sums up what the designers wanted to get across for each revision
I have this site’s rss feed in my feed reader. I definitely don’t try to keep up with every post but once a week or so I click through a dozen or so recent posts.

I found a copy of Encyclopaedia of Typefaces by Jaspert et al. in a second hand bookshop. My partner went and paid for it while I went outside for some fresh air. Apparently the young girl at the till saw the book and said "ooh, let me see if my favourite is in there" and proceeded to find Goudy Old Style which she said is in the title card of Blade Runner. It's a shame I wasn't there because I would have asked her how do you know this?! Are typefaces/fonts trending at the moment?
I would suppose she was a typography nerd and knew it because she maybe also liked Blade Runner.
