New York Times Font
What Font Does New York Times Use?
The New York Times font is best represented by Chomsky, a detailed blackletter-style replica created by the designer copypaste. Crafted to mirror the ornate, old-world typography featured in The New York Times masthead, Chomsky captures the newspaper’s historic, authoritative, and instantly recognizable visual style. While not the official typeface, it is the most popular fan-made alternative available—and you can download it for free, making it an excellent choice for personal, vintage-themed, or editorial-inspired design projects.
