As I read the redesigned paper the morning of Oct. 19, I kept having trouble keeping words in focus and reading smoothly. It was very uncomfortable.
I have read papers from all over the country, and not one was as challenging to read as your revised print edition.
Maybe it will just take time, and next year I'll be perfectly happy with this. But I am keeping the last old-style Post, from Oct. 18, and I'll compare next year.
The new paper looks as if some focus group just decided to view things differently. The group seemed to not have a clue about reader friendliness.

Why are you trying to lose the loyal subscribers that you still have? I have no objection to the design and layout of the new Washington Post, but I strongly take issue with the font that you are using!
I am in my late 70s and still enjoy The Post the old-fashioned way -- by reading the paper edition. I was very surprised to find that to read the paper comfortably while enjoying my coffee, I will have to use a magnifying glass. If reading the paper becomes more of a daily chore than a pleasure, I will have to read you online.
