While I love iterations and improving on design, I must say, it is much more simple, but very hard to read.

My eyes do not know where to focus on the overall design, the typeface is quite small and even smaller on the 'upvote/downvote/comment' section, and in general not the type thats easy on the eyes (no pun intended).

The type on the detailed view of a post is much easier, bigger and I can read it even if I'm sitting further away from my screen which is great and something that used to exist on DN previous to the change.

I think if you gave all of the elements a bit more breathing room, increased the size of the type along with changing the typeface to one that is easier to read, this new change would look and work beautifully.

Regardless, great job at working towards improvement and I look forward to seeing what new features DN comes out with.
