Quirky Serif Font used by Jonas Williamson – Kumlien Text
Hello,
can anybody help me sourcing this quirky, but nice serif font? it's been used by jonas williamson in combination with other very nice fonts.

i've tried whatthefont, but no useful results.
thank you!

There's something familiar about that odd 'g' and the sort of spiky serifs, but I could not find this in my Serif Guide. I'm not sure where I saw this before, but it will bug me now.

i guess sometimes it'd be easier to just ask the designer, but then i imagine myself getting a mail like this. i'd reply nicely, but still not know what to think of it.

so i asked him and it's KUMLIEN TEXT by Torbjörn Olsson, a digitalization of Kumlien Antikva by Akke Kumlien (Klingspor, 1943). I was searching the net, but couldn't find it for sale anywhere ...
