I already went through vertical arrangements and inverse icons. I simply
don't show each and every iteration, as export and presentation eat a
lot of time and why would I bother if I'm sure it just doesn't cut
it? ;)

Inverse icons has a tendency to push the title aside / create an area of
heavy weight that has to be balanced somehow. Going all light on dark
would be problematic if people want to print this and would also mean
inverse contrast to the content (something that is not much of a problem
for printed material in your hands, but can seem brutal if it happens on
screen).

Biolinum as stated on my blog.

I might push 3 edits, one of them mostly what Ben requested, later
today.
