I don't like the new fonts; I was happy with the old ones. I particularly don't like the tall, narrow headlines. The font (in Chrome and IE9) is Proxima-Nova-extra-condensed, though that switches to alternate fonts if your system doesn't support it, specifically "Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold", "Arial Narrow", Helvetica, Arial, or sans-serif
The choice of a tall, narrow font for headlines may allow you to cram more text into the headline, but it makes it harder to read. Furthermore, I don't like the text body font either (default is museo-slab; alternate is Georgia or Times).
