I was wondering if the font used in this old mathematics textbook (which I've seen in so many other books as well) is available on LaTeX, and if it covers maths as well. Thanks.

PS I've looked at this survey of fonts but no matches as far as I can tell.

    Welcome to the users of TeX.SE. If you do a search on the site TeX.SE. and I do not remember badly that there are several answers just on how to get a font style similar to what you are looking for. It's probably a typographic style not supported by the TeX distribution. In 1920 there was no TeX and they are probably characters of a publishing house. – Sebastiano Jul 16 '19 at 11:32

    A larger choice is shown in The LaTeX Font Catalogue. – Bernard Jul 16 '19 at 11:38
  • You can see the similar (or same) old question clicking this link: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/352447/how-to-write-like-old-mathematical-papers The fonts are similar but they are not the same. – Sebastiano Jul 16 '19 at 11:43

    The text font looks like Monotype Modern, i.e. the font DEK used to design TeX's default font Computer Modern. However, the greeks, integral and summation sign in CM are quite different. I don't know a suitable replacement for that. – Ralf Stubner Jul 16 '19 at 11:47
  • Thank you all for you kind replies. @Sebastiano in particular, the font mentioned in the answer you linked looks similar, and equally pleasant to read. –  Jul 16 '19 at 13:32
  • @lilasteroid I am happy when I help to others. My since regards. – Sebastiano Jul 16 '19 at 15:22
