What would be a font matching the lettering on the T-shirt in this image?

Also, so that I can search fonts better in future, what key words could be used to describe it? I know it’s serif, but anything else?

EDIT: Thanks, everyone! Looks like it’s Cooper Black.

Key words for this type of font seem to be:

  • serif
  • rounded serifs
  • blurred serifs
  • ultra-bold
  • display
  • old-style
  • heavy
  • black face (yes, I know)
  • long ascenders
  • small counters

    I know you got the answer, but you can use this fontfinder site, works pretty damn well.

    I used to have to recreate logos before they were readily available online and this helped a lot.

      Thanks!

      I saw it uses a flowchart approach (e.g. serifs or no serifs), which seems like a good alternative to the OCR approach but also had me thinking I might have to go through a lot of questions (some which I might not know how to answer) before getting a result.

      But as soon as I did step 1 (serifs), the “Popular Matches” sidebar showed Cooper Black second from top! :)

        Lmao Yeah, it narrows it down very fast, the question order helps greatly.

          Just to check, I kept going and it was 50 questions (!) before one applied to the characters I SHOT J R.

            With that few letters, a lot of “not sure” answers?

            I mean, it’s a tool. Nothing is perfect.
