USA Today tweaked its print redesign, Editor-in-Chief David Callaway told readers in a front page note Monday. “We’ve darkened and enlarged the typeface throughout the paper,” Callaway writes. The weather map gets more color, and the crossword is back where it was.

- Callaway’s note to readers
When USA Today redesigned its print paper in September, it went from a font called Gulliver to one called Chronicle Grade 1 for body copy. “It is the same size as the previous font, Gulliver, but is less condensed and a lighter-weight font with more contrast, providing enhanced legibility,” the organization announced at the time.
The redesigned USAToday.com uses a sans-serif face for body copy.
USA Today may be hearing from readers on another point Monday: Callaway’s note includes a typo: “We take critique from our loyal readers seriously and want you to know we’re listening.”
