Many of the 1980s covers for Stephen King novels are set in some variation of this template, regardless of typeface: centered caps with large first and last letters, middle letters shifted up. See also 1979’s The Dead Zone.

I believe the painting on front was by Steven Stroud.
I have always wondered why Charlie’s eyes on this particular cover are green when in the book Stephen King mentions her blue eyes.
Where is the Baker Signet on this cover?
It’s used for the SK initials on the book cover (not jacket), the spine (image 3), and the title page (image 4).
