Zsuzsanna Gahse's Mountainish typeface is Marist designed by Seb McLauchlan, inspired by William Morris's work; Michelle de Kretser's Theory & Practice in Goudy Old Style; an ARC so no info; and Cynthia Cruz's The Melancholia of Class: A Manifesto for the Working Class again no info - at least that I can find.
I'll share a couple from the ones I'm currently reading...
- Sister Deborah by Scholastique Mukasonga
NO TYPOGRAPHY INFO PROVIDED
(I suspect all Archipelago Books use the same type design, but have been unable to confirm that...)
- Your Absence Is Darkness by Jón Kalman Stefánsson
