The gouge you have bought is a firmer gouge.
Quite unusual to see one that big.
I have 4 of this type of firmer gouge 1/4″ up 1″
Firmer gouge normally use to scribe an ovolo moulding on rail of a window or door.
Found this link to explain more detail.

You will need to put bevel on outside if you intend to use as a carving gouge.
