This text calls for "Medici" font, but I cannot find "Medici" looking like this... Can you tell me where I can buy it or is it really a different font?
The only "Medici" I can find is Zapf's Medici Script, but your sample sure looks like Hermie. Perhaps it's something he did which hasn't been digitized.
Linotype will soon release Palatino Nova along with titling complements Michelangelo and Sistina. I don't have samples handy, but I think one of these might be close.
Ah, yes. I forgot about the Berthold version. But Misa, I highly recommend you wait for the Linotype version if you can. It comes straight from the designer and the designer will be duly compensated.
Yes, Stephen is on to something. Can you wait a few more weeks?
The Michelangelo font in the Palatino nova family will be called "Palatino nova Titling." It is all-caps, just like the original, but each glyph has been newly redrawn. It will included Greek capitals as well (revisions of Zapf's old metal Greek titling face, Phidias Greek), as well as some alternates, etc.
Sistina, a heavier all-caps titling face, will also be inlcuded in the Palatino nova family (it will be called Palatino nova Imperial). An older digitization of Sistina is still available from Linotype: http://www.linotype.com/56642/sistinaregular-font.html
Aldus was revised for Palatino nova as well, but it will still be called Aldus (or "Aldus nova", actually…)
