anybody know if this was a custom / commissioned typeface or something up for grabs in the public domain?

I just saw the inside of this magazine for the first time, and the typeface has extensive versions, swashes, ligatures, beautiful italics...

I wrote an entire article praising Bllueprint's typography and Martha Stewart's legal people wrote and made me remove it from the FontShop blog. Thankfully, my Flickr pics still exist.

typo, are they really such self-absorbed dollarmunching cunts as i thought they would be, or..?
why would they order you to remove an article that praises their typography?
seriously, WHY?
or is it really just a habit to threaten, sue, obstruct and what do i know to not be a little more cooperative in a society?
has capitalism really killed all freedom now?

Those are all my questions as well. Unfortunately I have no answers.
I've updated the Flickr images with the original text and links.

maybe they hassled you because it was on a FontShop blog? Being commercially-related and all. I can't imagine them going after a personal blog... it's silly either way.
