Hello,

I meant to bring in an eye magazine to scan in an example but surely one of you have one close by and can help me.
Basically what font do they use for the body text in the main articles. I know at the back under typography they mention Proforma and Egyptian, I can account for the other fonts mentioned but am mixed up between egyptian and proforma because there seems to be a few different kinds of egyptian available (505, OL).

Basically to make things simple my question is where do they use Proforma (is it in the main articles text?) and where do they use Egyptian.

Thanks alot,

David.

I think they use Proforma Medium for most of their text (see below). I don't have a magazine in front of me, but I thought they used Clarendon for headers, but it's in the Egyptian vein (They tend to be blocky and bold, here is one from E&F). You should be able to distinguish the two quite easily.
