New York Daily News masthead & headline type

alyce

Morning,

Looking for ID on the main masthead font (Daily News) and the headline font (Hate Mailer Targets Jeter). Any info will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Alyce

The headline font is close to Franklin Gothic but not an exact match for any version I can find.

The masthead was surely custom drawn.

The masthead kind of resembles an extended Baskerville, maybe that was a starting point.
