I like the description for Manufacturing Consent font:

While I like the premise, the opening text:

> Ah, Manufacturing Consent—the font that doesn’t just scream “serious journalism,” it calmly editorializes it in 144-point Fraktur while subtly nudging your worldview.

Unfortunately feels too much like an LLM output for me.

(Which is probably post-ironic in this context?)
