The New Yorker masthead features elegant serif lettering that spans the full width of the cover in classic black typography. The sophisticated design maintains understated elegance that complements the magazine's famous illustrated covers and refined editorial content. This timeless approach allows artistic cover illustrations to take center stage while reinforcing the publication's literary sophistication.
