I respectfully disagree. There is a great discipline and tradition of scientific illustration with guilds devoted to splitting those very hairs. It is clear that Dr. Messing is a gifted draftsman. But the readability and function of the text on a work like this is as important as the images themselves. That is, if they are meant to convey information and not just be a collection of pretty pictures. It is incredibly frustrating to realize how much time, energy and effort went into those images and then see them juxtaposed against a font originally meant for use only in a cartoon-based Internet chat space. I find it baffling.

Perhaps we can help get it redesigned and printed on green paper — even distribute in US?

I would recommend another font, and perhaps another way to handle the text graphically.

Print on Endeavor or some other green Forest Stewardship Council Paper.
