Shove, Aldine 401 BT seems a perfect match.

Thanks!

Plantin looks almost, if not exactly, like Aldine.

What is up with that?

Is that a PLANTIN knockoff??

Could well be, that's how people get around copy right, just by renaming it.

Interesting. So, one can copyright the name but not the font? Weird.

A bunch of the Bitstream Library is pirated, they finally gave Linotype some licensing fees about 8 years ago.
