Hello all... new insurance agency client - their corporate typeface and logo are Baskerville... I find it quite limited with only 6 styles.I've been using Minion as a potential update. Can you suggest a serif font that is similar to Baskerville but has a huge family?
I can't believe I have to use Baskerville and Avenir... stuck in the 80s much?

I like PMN Caecilia, its a slab font, not serif, not huge family, but has lots of character, and works great with san serif fonts.

Baskerville from Monotype has a few more styles, 27 styles.
Baskerville from Linotype has Album 13 font styles.
In case you want to upgrade with more styles.A nice more recent one with a similar taste to Baskerville (inspiration from same period) is Periódico by Emtype Foundry

They all have that old school feeling to it, but are good for readability. Unless you want something more modern, then go with slab serifs like Matski suggested.

I'm a big fan of Leitura News:
- I like this puppy. Bought it a few years back. Leitura Display has a lovely italic as well. https://www.myfonts.…Gnash

Harriet. Inspired by Baskerville apparently, but not in a Mitch Hedberg way.
