Member Ale… Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hello, I'm trying to identify the font used in this edition of Divine Comedy, precisely the edition printed in 1927 by "Sonzogno Editore" in Milano, named "La Divina Commedia. Illustrata da Gustavo Dorè. A cura di Eugenio Camerini.". I've used "My fonts" but without satisfactory results. In my opinion the font used is a Didone genre, very similar to some variant of "Bondoni" but the capital "Q" is different. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment
Solution Member glu… Posted May 11, 2020 Solution Share Posted May 11, 2020 for me, it "smells" of Joseph Pinel's work. As far as I know, only one typeface of Pinel's was digitized: Pinel French10pt No2 1 1 Link to comment

I happen to own a reprint of the same book, and unfortunately it doesn’t include a colophon. The book appears to be set in a variety of typefaces and fonts, but, at least for the page you shown, I doubt you will find anything better. 1 Link to comment
Member Kev… Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Elizabeth is also very similar for the larger body text (and for the page title and smaller body text as well). 2 Link to comment
