The screenshot is taken from the book Elementary Analysis : The Theory of Calculus by Kenneth A.Ross (1st Edition).

Can anybody guess the font here. I am guessing that the font used is ITC Veljovic LT Book but I am not sure. Secondly, how do we use this font in LaTex. Is it possible?

Adding another screenshot, to get a view of the font.

  • @DG' : There is a possibility of a reprint afterwards, which i dont know. But the font matches very much with ITC Veljovic. – C.S. Nov 18 '20 at 15:33
  • Infact if you look at the italics then you will come to see the similarities. – C.S. Nov 18 '20 at 15:34
  • This font is very similar to heuristica. – Урош Nov 18 '20 at 15:36

    If it looks like heuristica, which looks like Adobe Utopia, you might take a look at fourier, or even fourier-otf if you want to use open-type fonts. – Bernard Nov 18 '20 at 15:47

As Урош and Bernard said in the comments, it's quite probable that the original was set in Utopia and that therefor you could use fourier-otf (which actually is Erewhon, which is based on Heuristica which in turn, is based on Utopia) with XeLaTeX:

\documentclass[a5paper]{article}
\usepackage{fourier-otf}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\usepackage{parskip}

\begin{document}


\textbf{Example 1}\
Let ((s_n)) be the sequence defined by (s_n = n^2(-1)^n). The
positive terms of this sequence comprise a subsequence. In this case,
the sequence ((s_n)) is


[(-1, 4, -9, 16, -25, 36, -49, 64,...)]


and the subsequence is


[(4, 16, 36, 64, 100, 144,...).]


More precisely, the subsequence is ((s_{n_k}){k\in\mathbb{N}}) where
(n_k =2k) so that (s{n_k} =(2k)^2 (-1)^{2k}=4k^2). The selection
function (\sigma) is given by (\sigma(k)=2k).

If you do want to use OpenType fonts, you can try this. There may be a better way to do this, but this forms the basis of the template I have been using for years. Just replace "Adobe Garamond Pro" with the name of your chosen typeface.

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{article}

% For setting the section heading fonts
\usepackage[raggedright]{titlesec}


% For specifying environment fonts
\usepackage{fontspec}


% Choose the main and mono fonts:
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,Numbers={OldStyle,Proportional}]{Adobe Garamond Pro}
\setmonofont[Ligatures=TeX, Numbers={OldStyle,Proportional}]{Adobe Garamond Pro}


% Use ligatures via fontspec:
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}


% Set the font for the math environment:
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont[StylisticSet=1]{Garamond-Math} % This loads Garamond-Math as the main math font...
\setmathfont[range = up/num,Numbers={OldStyle,Monospaced}]{Adobe Garamond Pro}%...and then everything except the numerals get switched for Adobe Garamond Pro (because Adobe Garamond Pro doesn't have math symbols)

  • I don't think it's Adobe Garamond Pro. – C.S. Nov 18 '20 at 15:33
  • No, it's certainly not. I'm not sure what it is from the scan, but the above example should allow you to use it in LaTeX when you find it. – Craig Nov 18 '20 at 15:34
