Succession is a popular TV show about media proprietor Logan Roy and his power-hungry children. The show was created by Jesse Armstrong and aired on HBO from June 3, 2018, to May 28, 2023.
The font used for the logo is Engravers Gothic by Bitstream Inc. The type foundry was acquired by the Monotype in March 2012.
The font used for opening titles is Sackers Gothic (also by Monotype). It's a very similar font but it has more extended letterforms and larger apertures. The typeface was created by Gary Sackers, a stationery engraver and entrepreneur from North Carolina. Monotype writes:
Many typefaces were made from similar sources, including Monotype’s Engravers series, as well as Jim Spiece’s ITC Blair and Mark van Bronkhorst’s Sweet Sans. Sackers’ typefaces, which were initially made into photo-set type, were digitized by Compugraphic and released in the late 1980s. Sackers Gothic has since become a popular choice for conveying sincere and plainspoken language on dust jackets, posters, and of course, in stationery.
