I was curious, so I spent a little bit of time researching it. It's actually a proprietary font that they commissioned purely for the print magazine, called EcoType. This article talks about the redesign, which was managed by Erik Spiekermann in 2001. To the best of knowledge, it hasn't changed yet.
Interesting. In the years I've subscribed to the newspaper I've not noticed the typeface ... but do know how easily the ink smears on the page. :-) Guess my lack of observation and curiosity is because I'm not a graphics person nor a typographer. Regardless, it's an excellent publication and well worth the subscription price. Rich
