Need help to ID this font...

I've tried Century and Baskerville, they came close but the ball in the 2 and 6 don't match, and the "stem" in the 2 didn't match either. I tried whatthefont, but it suggested a bunch of fonts that don't match.

Any help or attempt to identify is.... very much appreiciated!

it is called Playfair display for everything but the 2. It appears they did not like the stylized 2 and replaced it with something else

The 2 appears to possibly be Chronicle Display Condensed ...stretched a bit with the lower left vertex extended (more pointed) and the upper terminal filled out to to match the 6.

The whole sample is Playfair Display, including the 2. The font includes two sets of figures: oldstyle and lining. Oldstyle is the default, but the ones in the sample are the lining figures.

Also, for some reason the 6 in the sample is in a larger point size than the rest.
