Apple often uses what looks like a "light" version of Lucida Grande or Lucida Sans Unicode, as seen here:



I like the font a lot, but neither Lucida Grande nor Lucida Sans has a light version. Is this simply a proprietary Apple font, or is there some way of obtaining it?

Apple always makes it beautiful.
The latest font they use for 2015, is
San Fransisco.
Just Google it. Apple has designed it's own font.

Apple SD Gothic Neo thin is probably the closest to what they use

Lucida Grande:



It's the light version, even though it says regular in the whatfont extention (because weight can be defined on the main font through CSS) it is the light version with a weight of 300

It's called Myriad Set, used in varying weights (in this case either Thin or Ultralight). It's a custom variation of Myriad Pro, only available to Apple and its marketing/advertising partners.

They use Myriad:



If you are after a free alternative and you don't mind that it isn't an exact match, you could use Vegur Light. Update: Vegur isn't a good recommendation because it has very poor character support (accented characters will not work at all) and it is of dubious authorship: it may be a rip-off of some other font. It only seems to appear on "dodgy" font sites.

As I understand it, Apple's type is a tweaked version of Myriad Pro. You may notice some variations.
