Mrs. Eaves

Mrs. Eaves, by Zuzana Licko, is a revival of Baskerville that attempts to soften its hard edges by reducing its contrast, lowering the x-height, and widening the lower case. Mrs. Eaves (named for Baskerville's companion) is a popular and attractive face that includes a number of ligatures and other features. But some say it has spacing problems. 

Hrant H Papazian, for example, wrote on the typophile forum, "The problem with Mrs Eaves isn't just that the spacing is messy (with only 40-something kerning pairs to patch things up) it's that its overall loose spacing goes against all its other parameters, like the tiny x-height, and the lightish color. You can't use it small, and you can't use it large." I've never used it at all.
