Font Review: Hoefler Text

Next up is the either the namesake or the mascot of Hoefler & Frere (not sure which one): Hoefler Text.
Again, not able to actually type it in the text because it is not standard. So instead, have the screenshot/link combo:

This review is short. Again, I like it because it is rather classic. It does the job, can be written small, and in various locations without sticking out. BUT. It is not terribly bland either, with room for interesting design elements. So there you go, a ood filler font. However, with Times New Roman as a free font, you shouldn't really bother getting it unless you fall in love with the nuances.
