I just returned from a short trip to Paris to show my son around some of the famous sites and restaurants. In 2021, that means a lot of health checks and tests. I was probably the only one in the airline terminal that looked at all the forms with the eye of a typographer.

I am not talking about elegance here, pure functionality. The people at check in desks are looking for “positive” or “negative”, the date the test was given, and whether the passport numbers match. On the test result form, the thing that is printed biggest is the name of the testing laboratory…

All this can be fixed easily with an adjustment of font sizes.
