A serif text face with moderately bracketed, wedge-like serifs and frequent spurs that create a forked, slightly barbed terminal character. Strokes show medium contrast with gently tapered joins, and the outlines carry a subtle calligraphic modulation rather than geometric regularity. Proportions are on the wide side, with generous bowls and open counters; the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height and rounded rhythm. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) end in pointed, flared terminals, while verticals often pick up small mid-stem projections that add texture across words.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice with extra texture is desired. It can also work effectively for headlines, packaging, and identity systems that benefit from a classic foundation with distinctive, spurred details.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, evoking printed book typography with a slightly ornate, storybook edge. The spurs and pointed terminals add personality and a hint of antiquarian charm without pushing into display-only eccentricity.
The design appears intended to modernize an old-style reading serif by adding forked/spurred terminals and flared finishing for recognizability, while keeping proportions and contrast comfortable for continuous text.
In running text, the spurred terminals create a lively sparkle and a slightly darker color in clusters, especially around letters with strong hooks (r, s, t) and diagonals (v, w, y). Numerals and capitals share the same tapered, flared finishing, keeping headings and text visually consistent.
