General Stat Block formatting issue

Why do all of the stat blocks we've seen have the type of "thing" it is and level way over on the right? I've regularly found myself looking around in stat blocks trying to find this information and it's so far from the name of the stat block, it's not natural to find. I'd much rather it be a second line after the name, before keywords.

Also, having it in a smaller font doesn't help at all.

I dunno, I actually like having the type and level up in the upper right. It could stand to be bigger font size though.

I thought this thread was going to be about all the other problematic stat block formatting issues, like "Stealth" in hazards when it should be "Notice" or "Perception," or the g~!@%~n dumpster fire that is the magic item blocks. XD

This is a generic issue impacting all stat blocks. The notice/stealth issue is more specific and covered in the Traps thread.

It's possible that in a 2 column format, the upper right corner for level won't be so far from the rest of the stat block, but certainly in a blog format of a single wide column it's annoying to find for me at least.
