3 years ago Hi,
I've noticed this went unanswered for nearly two years now, so I'll chime in.
Issue #584 was closed by referring users to tufte-latex classes. That helps regarding general formatting and whatnot but does not provide any information regarding the fonts. Because, you see, tufte-latex uses Palatino clones for Roman typesetting (see [1], [2]) whereas the book is clearly not typeset in Palatino.
To find out what were the actual fonts used, we may inspect the PDF itself using pdffonts [3].
I'll enclose the output of executing pdffonts below.
My best guess is that:
Charter and Helvetica are included in all TeX distributions via the psnfss package [4]. Include them as follows.
\usepackage{charter}
\usepackage{helvet}Regarding mathematics, you're probably using it already, Computer Modern is the default TeX font.
Doublestroke is available via dsfont [5].
\usepackage{dsfont}And it suffices amssymb [6] for Euler Fraktur (formerly eufrak) and AMS symbol fonts (amssymb requires amsfonts).
\usepackage{amssymb}Last, Univers is available in CTAN via the bitstrea package, but the unusual weight/spacing, type, and encoding (LightUltraCondensed; Type 1C; WinAnsi) leads me to believe the that the cover page was done separately.
For brevity I am not including package-specific options, do check them for completeness.
You can find this kind of information in the package documentation on CTAN.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like there to be a page after the references and index that shows information about what font the book was typeset in, what graphing system was used, etc. to help those who want to use a style similar to the book to typeset their own documents.
Describe the solution you'd like A page describing the graph styles and fonts used in the document. Even better would be the source frontmatter used in LaTeX for the font, graphing settings, bibliography, index, table of contents, etc.
Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried to guess at what font and graphing settings this book uses for my own project, but I can't exactly figure them out.
Additional context Not much additional context necessary.
