From the C and A especially, it must have been based on a Caslon.

I disagree about Caslon, because it seems to me only the A and C have any sort of Caslon similarity -- the other letters are much more like a classic Roman titling type. (My copy of the FontBook is not handy, or I might suggest a few similar ones.)

FWIW, AMICA is listed as a client of Font Bureau, although this typeface doesn't resemble any FB styles I have seen.

Thank you both for your input.

From what I was able to find online, there are several Amica magazines; one of which is German:

Probably FontBureau worked with them? The mast looks like Agenda to me.

This looks to me like a reduced-weight Cheltenham Oldstyle. I believe Font Bureau did something like that for the New York Times Magazine, but I don't know if this is the same one.

Mark is right - it looks very much like the NYT mag's redesign of Cheltenham, which is not (as far as I know) commercially available.

Went out and bought the magazine today. Here is a scan from one of the pages. I am almost sure now it is the custom work by FontBureau Mike and Mark mentioned. It is a beautiful and exquisite face in my opinion.

The other FontBureau typefaces used in the magazine: FB Agenda Light and FB Agenda Regular (for captions and short paragraphs), FB Giza Seven Five (from what I can tell) for some of the titles.

Can anyone provide a scan of the NY Times version of the font?

I'd be happy to scan the NYT magazine font (which I don't think is quite as light as this) but it won't arrive on my doorstep until saturday morning, hope you can wait until then.

That lower case g is definitely Cheltenham.

I'd be happy to scan a sample of the NY Times mag font but hope you can wait until saturday when my copy arrives. I don't think it's quite as light as this.

That lower case g confirms its Cheltenham origins.

Thanks, Patricia.

Here as promised is a sample from the New York Times. It's very close but not quite as delicate.

Note to the Europeans: please ignore the content. I apologize for my stupid country.

Thanks!

It looks like both typefaces are the same, the one in Amica being a little thinner(or it might be bad scanning on my part.) Mystery solved
