Briston is a bold vintage-style serif font with strong character and soft features. Briston is equipped with Swash, Stylistic, and Titling Alternates, as well as with Standard and Discretionary Ligatures. All these features can be accessed by OpenType controls or straight from the Character or Glyphs window. The font is PUA encoded, so you can use the extra glyphs in most graphic design software. In addition, Briston has a small set of ornaments and strokes that are found by turning on the Swash feature and typing characters 1–9.
In addition, if you can’t use OpenType features, you can use additional Briston Swash, Briston Salt (Stylistic Alternates), and Briston Titl (Titling Alternates) to access the alternates. In these versions, you’ll find the alternate in question in place of the standard character. So if you type “A” with Briston Swash, you’ll get Swash A.
Briston Serif Font is an efficient typeface for headlines, logos, and display use. You can also try using Briston all caps in really small sizes by adding some spacing.

and Tomato Ketchup:
Please note that when you type with Briston, you normally get the standard versions of characters, otherwise, the alternate characters would make a mess.
