It seems close to the italic of Modern Extended or even De Vinne, but as more of a display version with finer terminals. To me this suggests a customized version that started as one of these, or perhaps someone else's version of one of these fonts, or a font based on Century that was designed for display purposes.

I looked at Bodoni's and Didot's but the top serif of the 'l' was never bracketed like this one.
