This is neat, but the screen width change feels a little insane. MediaWiki content pages tend to be built with the assumption that there's lots of room to float objects alongside the content, so when you suddenly limit the available width to 715px, those pages (with infoboxes or whatever) start to look crappy.
This is of course why MobileFrontend reformats a lot of this content, and if we want to be smarter about screen width on the desktop, then I think we have to be a _lot_ smarter about how content is displayed than just hardcoding a limit.
Beyond that I love the changes and would keep it enabled as a user.

Hi everyone,
As Jared and I hinted at previously, we're about to launch a new iteration on the "typography refresh" beta feature for Vector users.
You can find all the details about what we've changed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Typography_refresh
Note: this won't go live to all wikis until this Thursday. You can see some of the latest changes by using the beta on mediawiki.org, but we're actually making a few final tweaks as we speak this afternoon. For a comprehensive list of what will change, see the link I posted above.
