{r} NEW YORK TIMES Blackletter font

[[Member]]

i am searching for a font called NYT-FrakturSix
It was designed by Matthew Carter
http://www.klingspor-museum.de/KlingsporKuenstler/Schriftdesigner/Carter/MatthewCarter.pdf

THE NEW YORK TIMES used it from 2008-2012 for a Magazine called "T" 

if i had a PDF of it, i would be able to extract the font.

FindMyFont suggested "Chomsky" by Fredrick Brennan | FontForge 2.0

But NYT-FrakturSix appears to be a specialty font:

"The typographer Matthew Carter recalled this week that Mr. Benguiat’s original work was a photocomposition font kept for the exclusive use of The Times by Photo-Lettering Inc., where Mr. Benguiat worked.

(At the Photo-Lettering shop in Murray Hill, pen-and-ink letterforms were converted into photographic negatives on film or glass plates. These were used in turn to expose photo sensitive paper with the desired letters. A terrific history can be found on the website of House Industries, which controls Photo-Lettering’s assets.)"
