Font ID anybody?

[Mason]

I know this should be easy, but Im having a rough morning over here..
Looking for an ID on the "SERVEN"

 

[Mason]

Anybody??

The "spurs"....

were probably added to the font.

 

[Fred Weiss]

I agree that the spurs were added but I'm unable to take it beyond that due to the nature of the art eliminating the possibility of a automated comparison and the time constraints of visually comparing to thousands of serif fonts in my archives.

Of the major font families there is a passing resemblance to some of the Caslons but not enough to call it a match.

 

[Shovelhead]

Thought it was CASLON....

real close.

Looks like caslon with spurs added and the outline was rounded, not sharp. When your reproducing this you should fix the kerning there before you flag distort. But then again, why waist your time because a lot needs to be fixed there. Just give em what they want.

The serif on the "R" leg....

comes to a point on the pic.

The font appears to be Slimbach Black, but you'll have to add the spurs.

 

[Gino]

It looks like one of the Century Schoolbook versions. Which one is hard to tell because of all the chopping and adding that has gone on with this one.

The diamonds are probably add-ons…. especially since they don’t keep a pattern going.​

Based on the original layout and the other simplified usage of styles, layout and perception, it looks as if a novice just tried to make a fancier style out of a simple one. Rarely will you see diamonds going in two directions on the same letter, let alone on a ‘Thick’ and a ‘Thin’ stroke.

Sorry, I screwed up!
It's not Slimbach!

Im going to go with Caslon and add the spurs, thanks guys!!
