I am trying to replicate a Playboy-type centerfold pic and cannot seem to locate the type style used by them.

Does anyone know what font they use?

If you are using CC, do you know you can do this?

You have to drag the bounding box to encompass the text you want to test, and it searches your installed and TypKit fonts. If you select one of the TypeKit fonts then it will sync it if you have not already maxed out your synced fonts limit.

In this case the already included Rockwell Extra Bold looks like a good match, but it is improved by reducing the width/height aspect ratio. I know that typography purists will be feinting at the thought of modifying a font this way

Thanks, but I'm using CS6, which doesn't seem to offer this.

I am looking to match the centerfold type, which is different than the style used on the cover.Who marked this as answered?

Surely not I...

Playboy uses a custom typeface from Okay Type (Other Notable Font Releases of 2015 – Typographica ) as well as Alright Sans and Harriet (www.okaytype.com).
