Oh wow. I've never seen this font on a paper book. There is something really satisfying about it, everything look perfectly balanced, I love it. There aren't many serif fonts that are pleasant to read and that I'm able to read over the long term. Guess I found my match!

Font recognizers like MyFonts are pretty data-rich but rarely give the right font first. I think they sponsor similar fonts that can be bought on their site before giving really accurate results. Anyway, thanks again for the discovery
