(x) serif font w/ mixed lower and upper case - Filosofia Unicase {J Edward Sanchez}

I’m looking for a version of the Times New Roman font, but it’s a little difficult to explain. Basically a few of the lower case letters have similar qualities to the capital case letters, such as the A and E and H and I and R, in such a way that they’d be just as tall and wide as the capitals, but would still be in lower case format.
The alphabet might look a little like this:


Now obviously this isn’t it, I just took the basic Times New Roman font and attempted to make it look like the one I’m looking for. But you get the basic idea (I hope).
I know this typeface has been used on a few book covers, I just can’t get to thinking of which ones. Young Adult Fiction I’m sure, I can’t quite put a finger on it though.
Anyways, if you could help me out, that’d be fantastic.

Something like Panoptica or Questal?

They’re called unicase fonts.

Edit: Maybe Filosofia Unicase is what you’re looking for.

YES THATS EXACTLY WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR. Thank you so much. I’ve been looking for this for ages.

Happy to be of help! So, which one turned out to be the one you had in mind?

Filosofia Unicase. Sorry I hadn’t replied to this sooner, I was just so overwhelmingly excited by the discovery. Haha just kidding. (Doesn’t think you’ll even read this)

How overwhelmingly exciting! Now I can stop refreshing this page and get some sleep.

Lanston’s Bodoni 26 is another unicase option.
