I believe that that font is called "New Yorker", honest to God. 
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.
