License: All Rights Reserved. Zeke Miller: A reader points out that President Barack Obama’s new typeface is Revolution Gothic, a style inspired by retro Cuban propaganda posters. Alexandra Lange: More striking to me than the name of the font, and even its tenuous Cuban connections, was how ugly this poster is. Roger Black: Obama shoulda used WPA type. If people don’t associate font with Cuba, the controversy is moot. Source: www.buzzfeed.com Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images. License: All Rights Reserved.
