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.
