    The blurb for Down and Out in the New Economy: How People Find (or Don’t Find) Work Today starts out with a nostalgic “Finding a job used to be simple.” The opposite argument could be made with typefaces, finding a typeface used to be rather difficult. For this cover, I would argue that Tobin found a rather fitting one. Source Sans lends the compositon the familiar aura of friendly-but-corporate-please-call-me-back.
