Does anyone know what font Wired Magazine uses as their main type font? It looks like a better variation of Georgia.

This wired?

It's a combo - maybe Bodoni + Univers condensed?

You mean the type inside the magazine or the logo?
Didn't they just do a redesign, I think they might have changed the typeface too. Not sure.
The logo was definately tweaked a little.

Of course I broke rule #1 by not doing a Google search first. Sorry. But as it turns out, the new font is called "Freight Micro" by Joshua Darden. link

It's a great font. Easily goes on my top 10. I'm actually considering buying the normal style... although it's a bit out of my price range.

i thought the new fonts were courtesy of Hoefler & Frere-Jones.
