I read this article in 2006. Back then, it was set in the Georgia typeface at 16px font size. It looked great.

Now it's 32px and a custom font with some ornamentation.

For me the text appears to big to read without zooming out and the typeface looks medieval. If the purpose of typography is to "honour the content" (cf. Bringhurst), this does not seem to be a good example.
