I uhm ... doubt that I'm the only Quietus reader over 40. Why then the eyechart typeface

To make you work for your edification. :-D

The Quietus is one of those websites that doesn't specify a typeface. So if you go into your browser settings, change the default typeface and reload the site you should find something more to your liking.

redesign is unusable

fine to me, and certainly a huge improvement on the previous incarnation

Fine here and it looks great

yeah redesign is much better (puts away reading glasses)

The way they announced it on socials — "The Quietus is reborn" or some shit — made me worry they were gonna try to pivot to Unherd/Free Press/The Atlantic-style conservatism, while still covering music. Glad it was just a reskinning of the site and not some kind of "now let us tell you what we really think" nightmare scenario.

I gladly cannot think of anyone less likely to pivot to any kind of conservatism than John tbh

Looks nice but I did a few reviews for them years ago and the first few paras of them don't appear under the new look, which is weird.

Worth getting in touch to explain that - I'm sure they have an easy way around that glitch...
