Anders, font licensing for iPad apps is of a different legal nature than web font licensing, and H&FJ typefaces are not currently available for use as web fonts. When H&FJ typefaces do become available, we hope to be able to offer clients like Wired the ability to host them via Typekit.

Meanwhile, Ray Larabie’s Tandelle is not a “cheap copy.” It’s just a different typeface, and it suits Wired nicely in these contexts.

Plus, if Wired ever decides to switch from Tandelle to another typeface, all it will take is a simple republish of their kit.

They would be a better visual solution, since they are designed specially for the magazine! Why has Typekit chosen to sell them a cheap copy instead?

They probably aren’t available: http://www.typography.com/ask/faq.php?faqID=126#Faq_126.
