Hi,

In the colophon it says Elzevier, but that's incorrect as far as I see?

Thanks!

Date of the book? “Elzevier” could refer to a style often called De Vinne or Romana.

I'm sorry I forgot to add it's 1962 - yes it looks like Romana, thank you! Just a little more confused than before, I understood Elzevier is referred to a style - so Romana would be another name for that style? Or an Elzevier typeface?

I think Elzevier is just the Francophone spelling of Elzevir, first released by the Gursch Foundry in 1866. De Vinne and Romana are later variations of the style.

But I am seeing a slight serif/cusp at the top left of the A in your sample that I don’t see in specimens of any of those typefaces, though it could just be an artifact of the reproduction
