Identifying Fonts

For my first blog post, I decided to identify the font used on my Lumineers album cover for Cleopatra. I chose the album because its one of my favorites and I thought the typeface was interesting because of its wide proportions. At first glance, you can immediately see that the typeface has serifs and that it uses all capital letters with lowered x-heights. After placing my image into WhatTheFont.com, I confidently identified this typeface to be Mrs. Eaves All Small Caps. Mrs. Eaves was designed by a woman named Zuzana Licko in 1996 so its only been around for 23 years while this album was recently made in 2016. It is an adaptation of the Baskerville font that dates back to the 1750s and is mostly used in display contexts.
