Looking for the body text font of the book "Generative Design" printed in 2013

Featured Replies

I'm driving mad in finding the font of the body text used for the book "Generative Design". The book is published by Princeton Architectural Press in 2013. I searched trough various internet service such as whatfontis or adobe fonts whit out sucess. The only font I found that is near this is Joanna by Eric Jill, but the shape of "a" and others letter are different.

I need it for the layout of my graphic thesis. I'm ready to buy the font family because it's simply superb.

This font is recognizable by looking at "a","y","j", "p" and "e" shapes.

I'll leave the website of the project here:
http://www.generative-gestaltung.de/1/

Here you can find a pdf whit two row of this text, just look after Chapter Headline:
http://www.generative-gestaltung.de/1/downloads/generative-design-how-to-read_en.pdf

Another clue is that in the thanks page of the book they mention: "Marten Nettelbladt (MISO) and FontShop for sharing of fonts".


I can't really guess the age of this font, but I think it's contemporary. It's seemed like a hybrid of shapes taken by two or more families. I'm looking for your masteries in the typography art.


Thanks in Advance,
Asgard.
