transitional but more calligraphic than usual

Driving me crazy. I know I've seen it many times, but can't name it.

Ellington bold I think, squooshed a little

Right on Patty. Ellington is one of my favorite fonts, as is the sans companion font - Strayhorn. The designer, Michael Harvey is a jazz fan -- Billy Strayhorn was Duke Ellington's friend, and arranger on many of his famous pieces.There is also the display face Braff, named for Ruby Braff, a top cornet & trumpet player who had recorded with Ellington, among many others.

End of typographical jazz lecture. :)
