Bembo, the tail of t looks like it’s been sliced off, is this pre-digital?

The U is probably your standard issue Helvetica or Univers.

It looks Garamondish—not Adobe Garamond—except the U, which I’ll just take a stab at and say Gill Sans. I’m still looking for a match. I have a feeling I should check in standard system fonts.

Yeah, well… there you go. What took you so long Geoff?

I just had to double check! :^)

You might be right about Gill Sans for the U, it’s a bit short for Helvetica.

Great! Thanks Geoff and Isaac.
Yeah I think it is pre-digital Bembo.
Geoff, you are right about the t is slightly different.
Do you know who produced the closest digital version to the original?
Who is a renowned foundry who produces type strict to originals?
Thanks!

I just had a look at metal Bembo and it doesn’t have this odd t which seems to imply the designer of this cover altered the forms.

That would be Monotype, they recently released a digital version called Bembo Book, it looks quite good for text but I haven’t used nor seen how it looks on paper.

See these;
