Cant’ find a perfect match for this Garamond-like with Italic Swashes (may be not a Garamond...). Many thanks in advance.

More details of this specimen in attachment.

Looks like URW Garamond

Thanks... Yes... Very close to URW Garamond No4 or 5 but where are these italic swashes coming from...? And downer serifs of italic “p” don’t match at all...

yep, you’re right about the swashes, they are much nearer garamond classico

URW Garamond Classico is also close but not a good match for text nor italics/swashes... Seems very hard to find a match...

I was shown other images by Thomas (Ryuk) and it was identified yesterday. It’s Hoefler Titling.
