ITC Ronda Light with several of its many alternates – spurless r, two-story a, and round y – for a book about nursing birds back to health. From the inner flap:

Long before bird-watching became fashionable, the author was a devoted healer of birds and spent much of her adolescence warding off thoughtless children who annoyed them. The subject of several favorable advance reviews, this illustrated book recounts her varied and touching adventures as a caretaker for wounded and abandoned birds.

The official digital version covers only one of three original weights. The alternate r and y were made the default forms. There are no alternates.
