Not hyper-pertinent but an interesting aside and definitely something to follow-up later on in the research, The Guardian’s much-discussed 2005 switch to Berliner format and accompanying redesign of the paper’s look included a new typeface family called Guardian Egyptian, in which all text in the paper is set. 

Guardian Egyptian was created by graphic designer and typographer Paul Barnes and type designer Christian Schwartz. The two designers now work together at a London-based agency called Commercial Type with has, unsurprisingly, a graphically gorgeous site.
