Anyone know what it is? I’m leaning toward custom, but am sure someone here can ID it.

Bookman medium swash italic. It might be a little customized on a few characters.

Where the Sidewalk Ends

That’s a link to the cover. Perhaps someone can chime in with more specific information on the cut.

I was actually reading this book to my wife’s stomach the other day.

Yeah, that’s the original Bookman Swash as digitized by Jason Walcott. I would advise against using the ITC Bookman version as it is — well, you know — not beautiful.

Why would anyone want to do that? Is there, perchance, a little Haguebaby on its way? :^P

Ah, so it was the one at Veer. It was hassling me about a login to see the full char set, so I gave up early.

There is a little Hague on the way! This June, actually.

Thanks, Yves. I’ll probably disappear from Typophile for a while this summer, but I’ll be back.

“There is a little Hague on the way! “
Name could be Delft then? ;)

Cheers!

Ha! That didn’t make the short list, but we are thinking about buying something like this for her.
