The font is Antique Roman from the Engravers 1 package at Monotype. It was called Amphora in a release by an 'off-brand' software company (NovelFonts, I think).

Thanks for the quick response, Mike.

Here's a link to see the font.

I think I know what this is. Somebody took Computer Modern (the most ubiquitous font from the METAFONT system), and tweaked the hell out of the parameters. The low x-height is suggestive of CM Dunhill, but compared with that font I can see the right serifs on 'hn' halved, the 't' taller (and with a less upright tail terminal), the 'e' and 's' wider, and the serifs on 'CSs' smaller.

That said, there are some characteristics that I feel absolutely give this one away, including the ball on the 'r', and the hairline tail on the C from 6 o'clock to 3 o'clock.

Hmm. It still looks to me like a CM derivative, but obviously Mike's ID is a close match. Maybe the ripoff font was designed using Metafont? If true, that in and of itself would be kind of interesting.

Raph,

The leg of the capital "R" is very distinctive. I just bought the Solid Antique, and their "R" matches the one I saw in person (not included in the sample above, obviously). I don't know what CM's looks like.

This face goes back to the 1920s. It was called Typo Roman, designed by Morris Fuller Benton for ATF. The light weight (above) was released by Intertype in 1939, according to McGrew.
