Could somebody please name this type face, I know its in the back of my head somewhere!
Thank you in advance!
Looks like a Bodoni, perhaps a poster Bodoni.
Actually, it might be Didoni: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/didoni/
The bottom italics is something else, like a Garamond.
Nah, the bottom one is a fat Caslon — check the typical capital ’A’.
Top one is indeed Didoni, the digitized version of the fat face classic Pistilli Roman.
close... I get Caslons and Garamonds mixed up all the time. 50/50 still isn’t bad.
It definitely isn’t. ;)
