Does anyone know the font? It's similar to a grouch or caslon 223.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe Caslon Graphique.

But some details don't match.

I thought it might be Caslon Graphique but the hairlines are too thin. Maybe custom drawn anyone?

ITC Grouch?

Ah, you already said Grouch, my bad.

Comparison...

Proportionally very similar...Grouch with a stroke applied?

Another comparison, this time with a white stroke...

Bullseye.

Hats off to NJMcLellan!

Huzzah! Is it just me, or is this treatment of Grouch actually much more attractive than the somewhat chunky original?

My thoughts as well, NJ.

It would never occur to me to stroke a typeface this way -- that the results look so good, and so refined, comes as a surprise.

I will say this for Grouch: it looks very good (and not at all chunky) at smaller sizes.

Amazing...thanks guys!
