Hi!
Need help with finding the name of this serif, any other info is much appreciated! The Q and i are quite special but I have a hard time finding the name of the font.
Any ideas?

Looks a lot like William Morris's Golden Type, obviously. Veronese (http://www.identifont.com/show?7PA) by Red Rooster is based on a late-nineteeth century American copy of Morris, but doesnt't match your example either.
Where does your photograph come from ?
The font is Doves by Torbjorn Olsson, based on the works of Emery Walker (based on Jenson lettering) from a 1900 typeface for Doves Press. The image below is the sample from my Serif Guide, where I found the answer.

The ÅÄÖ is only because I’m swedish but I don’t know if it is a swedish type.
Appears your teacher picked a Swedish type designer for you to study. Below is the website of Olsson Fonts.

You can also search 'Torbjörn Olsson' on this page for additional information.

It was more of an assignment where you should look at the classifications of typefaces as a way of identifying them, I guess most of us used what the font instead(me Typophile).
The largest part of the assignment wasn't to identify the font but to look at how it can be used, different weights and how to get a hold of it and then present this on a a3 print out. This on the other hand will be very difficult because I can't get hold of any real information on this type and I don't even know how to get a hold of it. I guess I have to email Olsson and ask. I can't even use the font in my print out.
The only information i have found is in the two links above. It would have been easier if I could use the font and try it myself I guess.
If anyone knows where to buy it or any information about the font I would be glad!
