(x) text font with protruding serifs - Ronaldson Old Style {David H}

Mircea Croitor

I’ve met this in many old books, printed in Romania. The uppercase protruding serifs make this font easy to spot. Any ideas ?

(samples below are from a ’60 book)

Great. No samples found on the net, but from descriptions, this is it.
Thank you.
