I love nice colophons:

The text of this book was set in a digitized version of a typeface
named Perpetua, designed by the British artist Eric Gill (1882-1940)
and cut by The Monotype Corporation, London, in 1928-1930. Perpetua is
a contemporary letter of original design, without any direct historical
antecedents. The shapes of the roman letters basically derive from
stonecutting, a form of lettering in which Gill was eminent. The italic
is essentially an inclined roman. The general effect of the typeface
in reading sizes is one of lightness and grace. The larger display
sizes of the type are extremely elegant and form what is probably the
most distinguished series of inscriptional letters cut in the present
century.
