@hingehead,

Whatever it might sound like, hinge, it looks ridiculous. Like shouting does.
It is quite obvious that the normal font size has evolved by a process of natural selection to be the easiest on the eye for the customers of the relevant web pages and, in A2K's case, the very epitome of perfection.
Web designers' first task is creating a page that is readable by their customers. Fonts that are too large take up too much space on the page and are as unreadable as ant-sized tiny fonts. You see?
It is a complex subject indeed and the judge is the reader. That's how it evolves. It is similar to evolution which proceeds upon another much more gratifying sensation than eyeball ease.
It is a distinct possibility that one of Eric Gill's alphabet designs is in use here on A2K. I am not expert enough, or too lazy to become one, to judge. But I do know that some fonts are annoying and repel readers.
Thus those using such unmannerly aberrations are working, insidiously, to break Robert's heart (his bank I mean). He probably went to some trouble to choose a font which is easy on the eye and with which anything that needs to be said can be said without resorting to the sort crassness we see all too many examples of from those whose interest in A2K is zero.
Even the spacing of a line in large bold is annoying. It is like being asked to go slow to allow our lips to move as we read.
So it is reasonable to assume that such gumpery is designed to break Robert's heart and annoy us all no end.
