 Meet Roger Black
Roger's stock-in-trade is fealty to classic, elegant typographical standards -- serif type and Oxford rules -- while a sensationalist tabloid's reason for existing involves pretty much an opposite philosophy about type (the more vulgar the better) and taste.
In some sense, the very thing that is annoying about Roger when you're paying him (that he is off in Milan at the Principessa or in Paris at the Ritz) is what you value him for, too: He's taken the art out of art director.
The fact that Roger himself is not there doing the job you're paying him for is, in some ways, a relief; you get the name without the ego.
