One of the first fonts I fell in love with. I remember spotting Sentinel in a couple of designs and drooling over it. I then went hunting it down like a mad man. I was trying to google things like 'Big slab serif font' and it wasn't bringing anything like it up. I eventually found it and used it on pretty much every design for the next couple of months. I'm not quite as obsessed now, but I still love it.
p.s. pardon the very poor pun, but I had to find something with a lowercase 'c' in it. Tis a thing of a beauty!
It does work well as both! Our print designers often use it in our magazine. Works for headings and body! Now we just need them to bring out the web font! Clarendon is a nice alternative for now but it doesn't have all the weights and italics.

Wow, that is a great font! Looks like it would work in both body and headings really well.

My love for Sentinel grew out of my love for Clarendon ;)

Combined with Gotham, like in your magazine shots, this is my current little type haven.
