moriah, the nameplates of the New York Times and Los Angeles Times are in a style called [=blackletter]blackletter](http://www.myfonts.com/search?search[text), of which there are scores of typefaces. Goudy Text is a typeface in the blackletter style that closely resembles those two nameplates, although in both cases they were probably custom made.
Such typefaces are variously called “text,” “black letter,” “Old English,” or “Gothic.” (The last usage being confusing because in professional typography, “gothic” means “sans-serif.”)
To be more specific, a Gothic typeface is a monoweighted sans serif. Monoweighted means the strokes all have the same thickness.
