Hmm, thought I attached file, working on it.

UPDATE: made it a link in original post. Here it is again for good measure...

Any help identifying is appreciated.

Thanks!

Metro. Nope.

EDIT: Reminds me of Erbar or Nobel.

it looks quite a bit like Font Bureau’s Eagle but quite many details don’t match so that’s not it.

Perhaps their own redraw of Vogue?

I am starting to wonder if it was a custom job - I’ve scoured all the ’pointed joint’ (M, N, W, A, etc.) faces that I can find on all the sites and still haven’t found something that matches completely. I guess it can’t hurt to try to shoot someone there an email and ask.

But if anyone else has some educated guesses, I welcome them.

So very close to Jim Parkinson’s Richmond, which he designed for the SF Chronicle and describes as inspired by Dwiggins (Metro) and Erbar.

Reminds me of Nobel too. Also resembles the old Vogue font which seems to have been redrawn for Vanity Fair (they are both Conde Nast, no?)

Whoops, realize Stephen already suggested Vogue.

Could this be Tempo?

hello friends!
long time reader first time poster.
right now i’m having a hard time detecting the name of TWO fonts that can be seen in the new york magazine, so i didn’t wanted to start a new thread. there’s nothing in google that mentions the fonts especifically.

www.nymag.com ,
one is the font contained in the logo, in italics
the other is in the tabs (news & features, restaurants, etc.)

any help would be much appreciated, and i’m happy to be here at the boards, finally.

The New York is custom lettering that has been tweaked and refined over the years by, among others, Milton Glaser and Ed Benguiat.

Here’s a discussion between Roger Black and former NY mag AD Luke Hayman that mentions the evolution of the logo:

The condensed sans serif is the now-retired Elderkin from Process Type Foundry:
