I don’t think the articles in New Yorker are bad. I do think the illustrations are outstanding, but their cartoons are mostly overrated, artistically conservative, generic fare, imo.

Re: the bad typeface, my guess this may have a comic that was submitted for the New Yorker but rejected, so the cartoonist just published it wherever b/c I agree, I don’t think the NYer would eff that up. Just guessing tho
