The (final?) cover shown on The Atlantic’s site is ok, but doesn’t seem as strong as this one with its massive Titling Gothic declaring the special issue topic. The entire issue appears to use only two families, but the expansive variants in each of these — weights and widths in Titling Gothic, Text and Display optical sizes in Mercury — offer plenty of options for the multitude of layouts and hierarchies in these pages.
