It appears to be some form of Garamond Swash Italic. I have the BE version and there are many simularities but also some differences. I know this will be solved pretty quickly.

'Caslon Italic Swashes' is rather close..
But, now that Ive seen Daniels choice, I think 'Garamond Swash' might be even closer..

Hi thanks for that! Thats spot on. Any ideas where I may find information on when Garamond swash was created and any history about it?
Thanks

Google: Claude Garamond

It's not Garamond or Caslon, though those are close. The exact font used here is Hoefler Text.

Mark rules as usual.

It seems that certain Hoefler fonts (Hoefler Text, Requiem) regularly stump people here. Maybe 'cause they're not on MyFonts? :-)

That's a good observation Mark. It seems to have become our resource of choice, doesn't it? Whenever we get stumped I start trying to think of what ISN'T at MyFonts, and go looking there.
