(x) Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus - Hoefler Text {Mark S}

Jem

Looking for the font used on Nick Caves new album, Abattoir Blues / The Lyre Of Orpheus.
This is probably an easy one due to the distinctive ampersand, but does anyone know ?

Thanks.

(by the way, the album is great)

I think this could be Sabon (with an italic ampersand), but the sample
is a bit too small to make out the finer details.

I think it’s Hoefler Text. The ampersand is from the Italic and Hoefler Text also has swash characters that match (if you know how to access them).

Thanks.
