Looks like Bembo. I’ll find the cut.

I think it’s Monotype Bembo Std.

Thank you Lex, the “r” and open “a” are identical to Bembo font.

Just musing, but isn’t it interesting that Harvard uses Bembo and Yale uses Carter’s interpretation of the original Bembo text? What is it about that style that’s so alluring for them? I can think of a few reasons myself. From its website, Princeton has forged a different path with what seem to be Baskerville and Helvetica.

The face used in the 2nd part of Princeton-logo doesn’t seem to be Helvetica.
More something like Univers?

I’ll defer to you, Jelmar; I’m not so up on the distinctions between neo-grotesks.
