Play


This week I was lucky enough to get a hold of the new sports magazine from The New York Times. Printed on the same light silky paper, impeccable printing and photography, it is what we have come to expect from the worlds greatest newspaper.








I was most impressed by the level of graphic and editorial engagement with the content: as well as being beautiful the magazine doesn't shy away from more complex editorial problems like time lines, multiple stories and boxes or needing to switch to a vertical format to explain the finer points of good defensive basketball.

PLAY is brilliant. But it's not new, it launched in February 2006, I think it's published with NYT quarterly, or maybe monthly now

Yes, Play is quarterly, and uses Seb Lester's Neo for text.
