Plantin

Plantin by Monotype is such a beautiful serif old style typeface. I like especially the plain roman and the expressive italic styles. I came across when visiting the homepage of Ash Huang. Plantin in use can be found at typewolf.

The homepage of Ash Huang, mainly designed with the Monotype Plantin typeface positioned on a green background.
P.S.
Beginning of January 2023 Nils Hempel made me aware of Plantijn by Wouter Soudan. Wouter´s Plantijn seems to have the most complete set of glyphs and as well a lot of font features, but I could not find a way to buy the font. Probably one has to contact Wouter and ask about it.
P.P.S.
ET Book is a free font and could be an alternative to Plantijn. ET Book is not as bold as Plantin and to my taste the Plantin glyphs are more pleasant. Look at a quick comparation at Identifont. ET Book is used by Jeremy Keith for his book Resilient Web Design.
