Hello! My university (the University of Washington) has received a donation of metal type and would like to identify it. It looks a bit like LTC Goudy, but this donation has a different k. Not a perfect match for Deepdene either. Could be some kind of Jenson variation, but the y doesn't match — no tail, just straight down. The e is particularly distinct, quite tilted, with a separate stroke for the crossbar. Could possibly be a version of Garamond, but I can't find a match to know versions. Unfortunately, no markings on the type itself (no marks on the nick) or information from the donor. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

I have reversed the images to help make the identification easier (hopefully).
