Obama is big news at the NY Times

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 around 8 pm mountain

When Obama claimed victory last week, I thought it’d be cool to grab a screenshot of NYTimes.com as it featured a huge headline. It turns out the printed version of the paper a week ago today used 96 pt. type for its headline. That’s massive. What’s the most impressive is that The Times has only used 96 pt. type a handful of times in it’s 100-plus-year history.
