Well, there is an 'out of focus-like' font called Holstein that I realy
like, I've seen variations of it on several net magazine's adverts (and of
course in wired, however, those guys must have used every font ever made
at least twice on every issue).  This holstein, however, is a TrueType
font for the Mac, I got it from some MacFormat CD coverdisk months ago,
but it must be also on src.doc.ac.ic.uk at sumex or umich. You're running
ShapeShifter, right? Then, if you just need some titles with that font,
you can use ADPro to capture the Mac screen of Illustrator or Simple Text
using it...

Hope that helps (If that wasn't the font, how about pointing it out in
reference to some specific advert/article in some Wired issue?)
