When you realise a whole argument has been instigated due to a supposed grammatical error.

Are we expecting Reith on news from next week then? I’m sure it was said it’d be after the EU election.

Next week starts with a bank holiday and is then half term so probably the week after at the earliest (personally expecting the first week of September at this point).

Well if Years and Years is anything to go by, they still won’t have changed by 2024.

I am going to find this change to Reith very hard to cope with, all new Phil.

It's triggering off my suspected Aspies, just like when they got rid of the flags.

That's the astronomical summer - the meteorological summer starts on 1st June.

Well ones a Friday and ones a Saturday so both unlikely? Unless they’re not treating this as a proper relaunch as it’s essential just the straps and typeface that’s changing, not the titles. In that case a Saturday may be a good idea as it’s quieter?

I really doubt he meant the actual first day of summer.

Cue the Game of Thrones theme with tropical arrangement.




Now, back to the topic... You may have thought that Reith Sans (designed by Dalton Maag, along with Reith Serif) looks somewhat similar to ITV Reem (by Fontsmith). Is it a sign of 'yet another bland humanist sans'?

No. The title in the thumbnail of the second video is written in Montserrat.
