Chomsky
Chomsky is a blackletter in the style of the New York Times masthead, traced from scans and drawn with heavier stems so it survives at smaller sizes than a nameplate. It has one weight, so set it for mastheads, certificates, and newspaper-style titles, and keep paragraphs short since the dense texture tires the eye.
