Letter: About face on clarity

Sir: Please bring back the 'old-look' Independent.

I used to admire the clarity and modernity of the design of the Independent. This is no longer the case since you have taken this retrograde step in the direction of your fustier rivals. The pages are now cluttered and incoherent (lines between each column and underlined capitalised text are particularly bad ideas), and the new font is bland and unremarkable compared to the grace of the old one.

Will it take another 2,000 issues before we see an improvement?

Yours disappointedly,
