Hmmh, where is that from? How old is it?

It looks like mix between Zapf’s Michaelangelo and Palatino Italic.

Definitely Zapfy.

It’s from a book by Tom Eagleton named War and Presidential Power. The first pages are missing so I don’t have a print date. It shows some wear, so it could be over 20 years old, I don’t know.

Also looks a bit like Aldus Italic by Zapf.

In case that helps, the book was published in 1974 from what I could gather.

There have been countless rips of Hermann’s work over the last 5 decades. Although it is strikingly similar to Michaelangelo let me make a few observations. There was never an italic, it is too bold and the R is not right as well as many of the serifs. Possibly phototypositor magic and a bit of noodling.

Definitely 1974:
War and Presidential power: a chronicle of congressional surrender, Thomas F. Eagleton. New York, Liveright, [1974].

Cheer, Colin
