Hmmm ... looks very Emigre to me but couldn't find anything while flipping through my collection of Emigre samples. I briefly checked T26 and didn't find anything, either. Someone have an idea?

It's close Emigre's Filosofia Unicase, but proportions seem a bit off?

Looks like Bauer Bodoni or one of the Bodoni families to me...

Jugde_Fire - Filosofia was my first thought as well. Upon closer inspection it looked quite different, though. As you said, they're similar but the proportions are just a bit off.

KeriVit - Bodoni sounds like a very good hint (**slapsforehead**, there you have it again: always think of simple solutions first, then look into the more exotic stuff), will check into that later.

Thanks!

I ran it through whatthefont.com

Ehrhardt
Walbaum
Bodoni

None of them look EXACTLY like that font, though

I thought it was maybe Didot, and it was close, but with Didot, the tail on the a drops down below the baseline, and it seems like yours has a bit heavier stroke, unless there is a heavier version of didot that isn't bold that I'm not aware of. Yeah, I don't think its didot.
