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.
It’s the felt, iron-on letterform of Cooper Black (for copyright reasons, sometimes called Black Cooper).
Been around since the last century.
Trademark reasons, surely?
Thanks, that’s it!
Craggy Island Bold
Father Ted is absolutely hysterical!
Can’t help you with the font but can highly recommend everyone watch this show.

Enjoy 😊
Couldn’t agree more!
Looks like the ‘I Shot JR’ font is Cooper Black.
Got me wondering about the lettering of the show’s title, but I can’t find any info on that.
Congrats on finding the font!
That one looks like a custom title for the show. Not sure how much luck you’ll have finding that one.
I also assumed as much, just wondering if someone ever made a font based on it.
Looks like Cooper bold.
It’s cooper black, for sure.
Thanks!
That looks like it. :)
Have you tried https://www.whatfontis.com/ ?
What The Font is another one to look up. Sometimes they’ll give different results so worth trying both.
I hadn’t. Thanks, giving it a go now.
First time using it, not sure if I did everything right. Unfortunately, 59 results have sharp serifs, unlike the fat rounded serifs of the source. The very last one (Charlemagne Condensed) has rounded serifs, but seeing it enlarged, there are odd angles on the rest of the letter shapes.
So, something like that but without the additional odd angles.
EDIT: Looks like it’s Cooper Black.
What the fuck is this from?
Father Ted. First episode. One of the best comedy shows there ever was. Defo check it out as soon as you can. Dermot Morgan and Ardal O’Hanlon are absolutely killing it. ^^
Small.
Far away.
Alt text says Father Ted. That’s an old BBC show. I didn’t know Dallas was big over there - TIL.
Channel 4, not BBC
Oops, sorry. I only encountered it on PBS & BBC America.
S’all good
Possibly Clarendon Bold
The ‘body’ (not sure of the right term) of Clarendon Bold looks quite similar but the serifs have right angles, unlike the rounded ones on the T-shirt.
