This is Georgia.

No, it’s not Georgia. But Georgia’s close. Look at the “k” in “book” in the photo. The ital version of Georgia doesn’t have the same flourish to it.

Sorry, you are right. But Georgia is very close.

The link you sent for Ruse doesn’t seem to direct me to a Bold or Black as demonstrated in the example I uploaded. Ruse is a beautiful font though!

Sorry. Found out the link you sent does have various weights based on the matrix clickable at the bottom. Thanks. Beautiful (and pricey) font.

The TEFF site is not the easiest one to navigate. :) There’s also so much different weights I can’t seem to figure out which one is the correct... try this: http://www.teff.nl/fonts/ruse/ruse100_lntx_italic.html

Ruse is very expensive, but I think it’s worth it. I’ve seen books using that typeface and they are gorgeous..

EDIT: Just like you said.. ;)

Thanks Tomii. I found a close second to be Bodoni Classic Ad Ital. That one, I have!
