I love (read, hate) the trend of using Serif fonts and marketing material that pull on nostalgic vibes. Surely, AI has been revolutionary in its own regard, for better or worse. But, the more they go into 80/90s style advertising, the more the allure of it dies.

Also this "system" just seems vulnerable af.

Could it just be a new trend? There are just two options in this case (serifs or no), so I’d expect it to flip back and forth sometimes.

The broader trend is pulling back a bit on “minimalism,” right? I think we hit peak (or valley?) minimalism already so I guess there’s only one way to go.

The specific font here is clearly meant to reference the marketing for the original Macintosh.
