The opener page is almost exclusively set in Hobeaux Black, stacked and justified, with a rainbowgradient. Parentheses and quotes/apostrophes are taken from lighter weights of the 5-style family.
Just in time for OH no Type Co.’s first anniversary, founder James T. Edmondson’s “dreams are coming true, thanks to the brave designers at @NYMag.” The Culture Pages of New York’s Fall Preview issue 2016 are a celebration of his Hobeaux.

Hobeaux drop cap! Fun fact: “Loser” was released in 1993, just like Whale’s “Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe”.

Hobo type sucks, even if used ironically.
^^^ Ahh, yes, but Hobeaux, now that’s a sweet looking typeface.
