Devour the land, edited by Makeda Best and published by Harvard Art Museums, traces the impacts of militarism on the American landscape, through the lens of art, environmental studies, and politics. Distributed by Yale University Press.

Headlines are set in Windsor [edit: it’s New Spirit, see comments]; body copy is set in a mix of Colroy and an unidentified sans (Helvetica?) [edit: it’s Swiss 721, see comments], and Favorit Mono is used for navigational elements, captions and other small text.
