For an identity project, I am looking for serif fonts in which the leg of the cap R drops below the baseline. Can anyone please make a recommendation? I have the ability to extend it further, if needed, and this needs to be more exaggerated than normal. Thanks a lot.
Quadraat might be a good place to start.
Dolly also has this (not quite as much as Quadraat). To a lesser extent, so do Doves type, Trinite, Sina, Livory, and Brisio.
Yana, Brioso, Poetica, Requiem (sort of), Waters Titling — maybe your best bet
Not in the same style, but I immediately thought of this

with an "R" that's asking to be extended!

I imagine you're looking for something less weird, but in case it's useful my Ambicase fonts have alternate Rs that descend.
Thanks, everyone for the great picks, and for the inspiration!
Kind regards,
Eric
