Can anyone ID the font used in Martha's new issue of Blueprint magazine?
Love the flourishment and the modern charm.
Thanks in advance!

It's 'Fling' from Letraset.

Patty, I think the Alts are embedded in the character set of the Letraset version. Linotype just split them out, because I think a lot of people don't know those Letraset fonts have alternate characters hidden in the font (see Papyrus and Fine Hand, to mention two that have more to them than most people realize.)

"Is it the new Eclat?"
God, I hope not. Just because Martha uses it on her magazine doesn't mean it's wonderful. It has it's place, and one word on a cover is fine, I'd say. Martha could do for fonts what Oprah did for books, if she starts making that part of her 'style realms', and I don't really think it would be 'a good thing' for design.
Why are people afraid to trust their own taste in type (or judgement in books, for that matter)?

On the website they use Kursivschrift.
It's a sad day for Blueprint fans (and MSLO employees):
