Here's another vote:  The new format CACM is a typographical disaster!
The table of contents is hard to read.  The names and titles of many
if not most articles are hard to discover amidst the wild graphics.  The
choices of character fonts in the text involves frequent font clashes.

It looks like they hired a graphics artist straight out of art school
do do the design, someone with a life ambition to design Brillo boxes or
something equally trashy.
