I thought this was Garamond, but none of mine match. Whatthefont couldn’t figure it out either.

Nothing yet? This looks mainstream to me - like an Adobe or Berthold font. But what?

I think it’s Hightower from Font Bureau. By Tobias Frere-Jones.

Here is a link to Hightower at MyFonts where you can test drive to match the sample.

(I ID’d it using the Serif Font ID Guide. The ‘a’ is the fourth type, so is the ‘y’ and the ‘R’, and then you look for the R in the 53 fonts that will show as matches for those three letters)
