I like the (possibly, older) style of the integral sign that appears in this paper better than how it is usually typeset these days.

I've heard these called the German or Russian style integral sign. I don't know the actual history. I have seen this question [1] on the tex/latex stackexchange about making this integral sign.

I would expect a journal to not use a different font integral sign, however. Or rather, I would expect the "house style" to include font choices for integral signs as well. I'm not aware of any journal that uses this type of integral now, but I suppose I should also note that I mostly read papers from the arxiv now anyway.
