I mean it’s clearly just a little joke (quite a good one IMO) based on the fact that it’s a US-Constitution-like font.
The only question is whether the person who signed off on making this live was in on the joke. I suspect not, I think they probably thought “oh that’s a weird name for a font.”

My first thought was NYT font actually, it made me laugh quite a bit. I think the Chomsky reference is real.
Oh… holy shit. I think you’re right. That’s a much better joke.
To me it looks like the font for a Nazi-era newspaper headline.
Weird they all look the same, right?
You’re probably thinking of Blackletter, which was quite common in Germany.
