Hello, fellow typophiles -
I've been trying for some time now to identify the typeface the New Yorker uses in their small headings (not the titles of pieces, but titles of plays and movies, for instance, in the "goings on about town" section) -
I've seen it a couple other places, too, and would love to know what it is -
See the attached image for a sample I pulled from a PDF from the New Yorker -
Thanks for any help!
A.
It's neither of those - the middle horizontal stroke on the E and H in this typeface is vertically centered - also the center point of the M is on the baseline -
Any other ideas?
It's probably James Montalbano's VF Sans which was done for Vanity Fair. The New Yorker is published by the same company, Conde Nast. Unfortunately, this font is not available to the general public.
The old metal face Vogue is also very similar to this.
You could try Geometric 415.
