I quite like the new adaita font, though it has a bit less character than that new font open suse published a little while back.

But something more neutral isn't strictly a bad thing for an interface font I suppose

Hope y'all are having a good day :)

Note that there still have been no studies on its efficacy. At worst, it is a great font to avoid ambiguity between characters.

From the author of the "Shift Happens" book that came out a little while ago.

Joke aside, there are several cool fonts in this one from 1892:

The font I'm looking for is in the title bar of this window.

Can anyone identify this font? The title page in the ebook is an image, and there's no credit listed, and my web searches have all been dead ends.

I'm not certain there aren't three similar fonts; there are at least two distinct fonts here, and maybe three, although they could all be in the same family -- Bold, Normal, and Light. I'm most interested in the middle font, but all three are interesting.

It's a striking title page, and I'd really like to ID these. My fall back will be to write the publisher and ask, but I'm hoping someone here will be able to toss the family off the top of their head.
