What is this - some kind of Garamond? I've tried the usually "What the Font" route. I need to buy it somewhere.
Thanks!

Looks familiar. Could be two separate fonts that.
Title case characters are similar to Amethyst Bold.
Possibly modified?

I remember Letraset flogging this as dry-transfer sheets, so it is a unified font... but what?!

Definitely familiar. Reminds me of the old RadioTimes logo.

edit: but totally not

I found out late yesterday it's called something like Booker Bold Swash Italic - but also that it's not been digitized, e.g. turned into a computer font.
Anyhoo, panic over. Thanks for the input, people.
