Typically advertorials use a distinct font and possibly rules (as in borders, lines) to differentiate itself from straight editorial. Sure, we know the difference. And yes, it actually does feel different, and yes that matters.



Iirc, there are even official guides or laws about distinguishing an advertorial from content.

In TIME magazine, each page is clearly marked 'advertisement' at the top, and the fonts and styling are typically distinct from normal articles.
