Hi Fiz,

 

It’s a custom creation, inspired by lettering used on a series of books published by Phaidon in the 1940s, see this article by Commercial Type.

 

Their Canela, which was used for an earlier incarnation of the masthead, is in the same ballpark. Another commonly available typeface with some similar characteristics is Bellefair.
