The quality of the composition, not just the letter forms, will
affect peoples judgment of the final product. 

The American Mathematical Society has substantial typographic
competence. Although they have a historical connection to and endorsement
of TeX and Computer Modern fonts, their staff is in my opinion
critical and unbiased, and would make good ``referees''. 

If your proposal is to reproduce things photographically for
further review, then the additional complication arises of
relative degradation under duplication which may be highly relevant
for some and irrelevant for others.

A number of art departments e.g. at RSDI and Rochester have 
typography and graphic arts departments which undoubtedly have
the competence to form or nominate the jury.
