This looks very Baskervillesque, but which version?

Cool — thanks!
Any online source, for reference?

The extremely user-unfriendly Berthold website is
the only one I know of.

No ID unfortunately. The lc ‘g’ with its bulby ending
on the loop doesn’t match anything. Anyone an idea?

The g is very like Monticello, and the type is close to, but doesn’t match, Carter’s new version. You can see it by going to the Linotype site and doing a search, but I can’t figure out how to link there.

The ampersand isn’t Monticello.

Thank you very much for your help.

I think the ampersand is very special. Do you know a fondry und a type designer who could design such an ampersand.

That ampersand is typical for italic Baskervilles.
Maybe check the aforementionned list and see for
yourself if you find anything you like. I guess there
will be no exact matches, but you’ll come across
similar stuff.

Here’s some examples: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Italic Caslons often have that shape too.

1 | 2 | 3 etc. etc.

I would very much like to know what that font is myself, since that form of “g” (my favorite) is extremely rare.
Maybe the older version of Monticello?

The lower bowl of the g in the older Monticello is more flattened than this one.

Another font with a very similar open g is Gustav Jaeger’s “Seneca”, and of course, there is Zapf’s “Zapf International”.

> Gustav Jaeger’s “Seneca”

Where can I see this?

> Zapf International

I’d forgotten about that! Embarassing, because its italic “g”* (which I find superior) has actually served as direct inspiration for me on one accasion in the past.
