I just tracked down where to purchase it
(https://www.typography.com/storefront/) but found a distinct 'issue'
which is somewhat insurmountable. The price.

and that is listed as a "Special Offer: Save $100 on Hoefler Text and
Titling"  ffs!

If we end up 'correcting' the glyphs in the globe could we please use a
free-as-in-beer font for the colophon and text too? There are open source
fonts and to use this particular font is restrictive and way too expensive
to be reasonable for projects such as ours.
