I don't remember where I picked this up; I only remember it because it seemed odd. As I remember, the separate characters were drawn for specific titles ("New Yorker", "Talk of the Town") and somebody had to go back later to draw the rest of them. Elizabeth

The Kelsey Company used to sell actual metal type (individual letters) of this font under the name New Yorker. -- Irving Wolfe irv@happym.UUCP Happy Man Corp, 119 Aloha St 206/282-9598 tikal!camco!happym!irv Seattle, WA 98109-3799 SOLID VALUE, the only newsletter for Benjamin Graham's intelligent investor (sample on request)

I called the _New Yorker_ and this is what I found out about their typefaces: logo, headings/titles, inside headers: Irvin Irvin, designed for the magazine by typographer Ray Irvin, is proprietary to the _New Yorker_. Table of Contents titles, "Goings On About Town" headings: Vogue Bold "Goings On About Town" body text, outside headers: Caslon Old Style Article body text: Caslon Old Face, Caslon Old Face Italic Table of Contents authors, cartoon captions: Caslon Old Style Italic There are 1000s of variations of Caslon, and I didn't ask who provided the type, though I did find out who does their typesetting. BTW they've been using phototypesetting for about 10 yrs, and have changed machines several times. and hey made their type. -- Jim Ingram uunet!h-three!jimi | jimi%h-three@uunet.uu.net h-three Systems Corporation P.O.
