Funny, I was just reading this thread when this post came up

I think you're right, Tiffany. I wonder what font it's pretending to be? The italic is very narrow.

This reminds me of a Scott Kim (I think) puzzle in Publish magazine a few years back. He showed samples where the Adobe substitute fonts had replaced well-known typefaces. The idea was to identify what the missing font was.

Tiff, you are the best. And thanks, franz, for the link. According to the Word doc my friend sent, this was supposed to be ITC Garamond. The italic was an oblique of the Garamond.

Weird.
