+Federal courts have institutional typefaces, mostly unspoken — the Supreme Court has stayed with Century Schoolbook since the early 1900s; most Circuits picked something workmanlike (Times, Garamond) and never reconsidered. The Fifth Circuit recently switched to Matthew Butterick's Equity (designed specifically for legal writing) and that prompted Gruber to inventory the others.
