I've been referring to it as such, but Sexton makes > fun of me. 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.
