Identifying Fonts

After using the website WhattheFont.com, I decided that Serlio LT by Adobe was the closest match to the font used on this cover of “The Shining” by Stephen King. The ‘K’ and ‘G’ had the most defining features to me for the word “King”. The K’s “leg” has that distinct curve at the end, but the G is what gives it away. The serif at the top of the G is thick at the top and thins at the bottom, while also being a bit crooked. The other serif also has a slight dip in the middle. When I compared it to “Stephen” the details matched up identically as well.
