What is the name of the condensed/compressed sans serif Wired Magazine constantly uses?

Tungsten, perhaps

Perfect. Thanks. I figured they had it commissioned, and who better to do that than Hoefler & Frere-Jones?

I think they're using Vitesse, too. But it appears their serif typeface was a custom job by H&FJ.

They actually use Vitesse, Vitesse Sans, Retina Display, Knockout and Forza.

I don't see Forza, Knockout, or Retina anywhere in the latest redesign. They do use a lot of fonts. Somehow it doesn't look like a total nightmare. The ones I currently see are Vitesse, Tungsten, their custom serif from H&FJ (would love to know what it's called), Gotham Rounded, Akkurat, and something that looks a lot like Futura (can't tell if it's actually something else or not). It's a funky combination. Can't imagine it working anywhere else.

I don't have a copy in front of me but if you are looking to capture the look and feel you can get that with the United font. Rather than a bunch of others. It's got Serif and Sans plus stencil versions too. Probably cheaper than buying all the others to get this one family.
