Not an exact match, but a similar feel:

This is an old face called Greco. There have been various digital versions, including the lighter one on the first line, but availability is a bit spotty. I don't know where you could get the lighter one.

Yes, Mark, this is a very old face. As you know this is a Spanish design from the twenties, from the Richard Gans foundry. It's amazing the credit appearing at Linotype website:

"Designer DsgnHaus Inc., 1996 "

uuh

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff like that around in the case of digital versions of old fonts. The funny thing is FontHaus (a.k.a. DsgnHaus) does not appear to carry the font anymore. I believe it was digitized in the early nineties by a now-defunct foundry and was only distributed by FontHaus.

There was also a Linotype (metal) version of this called Vulcan. That may be the version with the lighter weight that I've seen.

Thanks for the information. The lighter face was the one I really wanted to find. The sample comes from an ad running in the current issue of The New York Review of Books.

Dang, I thought it was Greco but I couldn't find it ANYWHERE on the web so I gave up!

The lighter version was digitized. It was part of the same family of Greco fonts that FontHaus used to sell, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere anymore, unlike the bold weights.

Franklin Type Founders used to include this font in their collection that was sold by the recently-defunct Precision Type. A search for them now shows that Atomic Type in the UK still carries their fonts, and you can buy the whole family for �120 (individual fonts for �39).

Viva Mike!

Great sleuthing, Mike. I just licensed it and its current copyright reads "Bulldog Foundry, 2005".

That's odd. Google finds nothing by the name 'Bulldog Foundry'.

In any case I am happy that you have gotten the font you were looking for.
