BauerBodoni vs. Baskerville
These two serif fonts look very similar, they both have high contrast between thicks and thins, and many of the letter forms look extremely similar. The Biggest difference between the two is that Bodoni has a taller cap height and tighter curves. For instance the terminal of the J is a very tight curve in Bodoni while the curve in the Baskerville is much more traditional. Many of the lowercase letters in Bodoni have what looks very similar to an extrememly thin slab serrif while the serrifs on Basterville look more like a beak. The tail of the Q on Baskerville is much more ornate, having an angle in the middle of it, while Bodoni's Q has only a light curve making up the tail.
