The challenge was to obtain the same force, versatility and colour that are, from our point of view, Helvetica’s greatest qualities. The same proportions have been maintained, albeit with slightly reduced letter width. The resulting design has soft strokes, open counters and terminals; aesthetically resting somewhere between a grotesque and humanist sans serif.
Comes in six weights, with OpenType features including four sets of numerals, fractions, several stylistic alternates and a set of arrows and dingbats. Designed by Italian studio Leftloft.
Small write up over at Typophile identifying newly introduced typefaces with the redesign of the NY Times Magazine. New Type in New York Times Mag.

Others include Lyon, by Atelier Carvalho Bernau for the main text, Nyte, by DSTYPE (Dino dos Santos), Process Type’s Sunday, and Bitstream’s Stymie Extra Bold.
