The typography is much nicer than what I've gotten used to from Artscroll. Twenty years ago, I was thrilled by Artscroll's clarity, but as the years have passed and other siddurim have started to take advantage of computers, Artscroll has started to feel very pareve. This machzor is much improved. I can't identify the font they used for the Hebrew; it's a bit like Hadar. It's got a nice look to it and has a lot more page presence than Hadassah, which Artscroll usually uses.
But all that is window dressing. The point of buying these machzorim was for the insights of the Rav. And so far I am not disappointed. The introductory essays are enlightening and inspiring. (I hope to write about them a separate posting.) The bottom-of-page commentaries, instead of being short elucidations on individual words or phrases, are mini-essays about more significant themes. They took advantage of the duplication of the Musaf Amidah to provide two different commentary streams, one based on the Rav's writings and one based on his audiotaped lectures.
In short, I have great expectations that these machzorim, despite their technical flaws, will deepen my understanding of the Days of Awe and help me to make better use of this transformative time to become a better person and a better Jew. ( )
