Post going modern

The Evening post is going modern. The observant reader will have noticed the serialised version of Manchester's book, "The Death of a President," appears on a new, clean easy to read typeface.

Called Corona, the new body type is just part of the modernisation the Post is undergoing. Soon the whole paper will set in this body.

Advertisers will note their classifieds are going to be shrunk to a 4 1/2 point condensed type face instead of the larger 5 1/2.

Readers can expect front page news later this year once the new presses are operating satisfactorily.
