The pair makes a point that is easy to miss: the AI default isn't ugly, it's that every element is emphasized, so nothing is - and the fix is a hierarchy decision rather than a taste one. Which failure did you find hardest to name in a way a client could actually act on, the type hierarchy or the spacing?

Definitely the spacing. Type hierarchy is usually easier to point out because you can show exactly what needs to lead. Spacing feels more subjective to clients, even when it’s actually creating the same “everything is emphasized” problem.
