Typography & History
The New York Times had used 96 point font for headline on three occasions: first man on the Moon, Nixon's resignation and 9/11.
Yesterday they used it again, for Obama's election as President of the United States. I think it's a good measure of how historical this moment is for this country and for the whole world.
