Ny. Sans
A2-Type · Henrik Kubel · 2015
A ten-weight grotesque sans designed by Henrik Kubel as part of the custom type system created for the 2015 redesign of The New York Times Magazine.
About
Part of the broader Ny. family commissioned for The New York Times Magazine, the Sans draws on the sharpness and contrast of the magazine's Gothic Blackletter logotype. Ten weights run from Thin to Heavy, each with a matching italic, making it well-suited to editorial hierarchies across text and display. The name references both New York and the Danish word for 'new', reflecting the background of principal designer Henrik Kubel.
Classification
A sans-serif companion to the Ny. family, designed as part of a custom type system for The New York Times Magazine redesign; its sharpness and contrast draw influence from the Gothic Blackletter logotype of the magazine, giving it an editorial grotesque character.
