Hi,

I’m trying to identify this serif face, it appears on Rand McNally maps from the 80s in various widths. Maybe a simple id.

Thanks in advance,
Richard

It’s a version of Romana. It doesn’t quite match the samples here because there were a number of different versions. I would guess that the one in your sample was a film font version from the seventies.
