Peter Buchanan-Smith chose pictures from photographer Todd Hido’s series Homes at Night and Landscapes for these seven volumes of the backlist of works by famed American writer Raymond Carver (1938–1988), published in 2009 by Vintage Books.
The two main typefaces here are Walbaum (author’s name, quotes) and Filmotype Jefferson (book title). They are complemented by Knockout for the subtitles (“Stories”, “The Collected Poems”, etc.).
To accompany the release of the series, Vintage published on its blog a short but insightful dialogue between Buchanan-Smith and Hido—it’s definitely worth the read.

That looks like Freehand 575 to me. As far as I’m concerned, OPTI’s digitization is somewhat bolder and has alternates.
You’re probably right. Since we have a separate page for Bitstream’s version, I have adjusted the typeface credit. Thanks!
