Founded in 1914, The New Republic magazine was purchased about a year ago by Chris Hughes, the 29-year-old co-founder of Facebook. According to adweek.com,
the revamped New Republic brand includes a website, tablet app, audio versions of its articles and a live event platform.
The new publisher’s rebranding also involved “hiring the magazine’s first in-house art department.” Dirk Barnett is Creative Director and Erick A. Fletes the Associate AD, with Ben Avny and Cameron L. Searcy listed as designers.

See also Roger Black’s blog post on Fonts In Use about their new logo. The New Republic’s blog has more about it in an interview with Creative Director Dick Barnett.
The website uses quite a substantial number of fonts: Not only are there three styles of Antenna, but also six weights of Atlas Grotesk, from Thin to Black. The CSS references seven styles from Publico Headline, plus another four from Publico Text.
