Suggestions Needed: Font for Novel

Douglas Shields Dix

I need suggestions for a font for a long (900 page) philosophical novel with a good deal of dialogue, and italicized “inter-sections” (15) between sections/chapters.

Having read a good many entries on ths forum and others, so far it seems the following come out as favorites:

Warnock
Bembo Book
Berling
Life Bt
Quadraat

Votes for any of these? Others?

Your suggestions greatly appreciated!

Quadraat!
for such a bulky volume a slightly condensed face might come handy.

and generally, i’d like to see more Quadraat in this world.

SCALA! Greatest reading font ever!
