Anybody know what typeface this is?

Thanks for your help

From The Art of the Letter by Doyald Young.


That's why: the half serif on the "n" screamed "Century Schoolbook",
but the width was all wrong.

(...) thought that the often-used styles would not create strong brand
identification, so this font was developed for use on brand names.


Am I missing something? Tweaking a well-known and overused type
design is definitely NOT going to create strong brand identification
neither. What's wrong with designing a truly new typeface? Bunch of
hi-brow conservatives. :-)
