Thanks.

It looks like Baskerville to me.

Elsner+Flake version...

mmm… 'p's not right though, unless someone's tweaked it.

seems to be the d, 180° rotated

or Mrs Eaves (with the d rotated)

Mrs. Eaves (rotated 'd') and Eurostile Bold.

'poh!'

Mrs. Eaves' "d" is not flat as is this example. Or the version I have a license for doesn't. Perhaps that was tweaked as well.

The “d” from Elsner+Flake’s Baskerville is flat, that's why I think it's their Baskerville.

Nah, I just checked to be 100% sure, and the distance between the dot and the i is bigger, the characters are 'rounder' and more extended, and the serifs are more pronounced.

This feels like Mrs. Eaves. This tastes like Mrs. Eaves. So I guess it is Mrs. Eaves.

Yves and Mrs. Eaves have spoken :-)

I suppose you all know the similarities between Baskerville and Mrs. Eaves are no coincidence. As I recall, Emigre (Zazana Licko) introduced Mrs. Eaves as a modernization of Baskerville and named the font after his (Baskerville's) mistress.

Uh, that should have been "Zuzana Licko". My apologies, Ms. Licko.

yes, you can read all about it in the wiki: Mrs Eaves. Although, i'm sure this info is old news to most Typophile regulars.

I get the feeling that Mrs Eaves has had her ascenders pulled down a touch, I don't possess it so I can't check, it also looks as though there is a slight stroke applied.
