I used to have this typeface, but when I got a new computer, I must not have copied it over, and I can't find any documentation (I guess I never used it). anyway, it's used on the cover of the Bas Jan Ader book and dvd (seen here: http://www.basjanader.com/img/blog_cover.jpg) and throughout the website BasJanAder.com
Anyone have a guess?

It's by ParaType. Either Hermes or Pollack. They may be the same thing:

Looks like Hermes has been updated for Font Bureau with additional weights/styles.

Disregard that last post. The Font Bureau Hermes is different from ParaType's.

ahh, yes. I have that Font Bureau version of Hermes, and I think somewhere in the back of my head, I had an inkling that was what it was called, but confused beyond rational thought. thanks a lot!
