An upright serif with a sturdy, compact build and moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into forked or spurred terminals, with distinctive mid-stem nicks that read like engraved cuts or ink-trap-like notches. Curves are generous and slightly squared off at joins, while horizontals and diagonals keep a steady, confident weight. The overall rhythm is bold and even, with decorative interruptions that add texture without turning into full display swashes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where the decorative spurs can be appreciated—such as posters, book covers, editorial openers, packaging, and brand marks. It can work for larger passages when set with generous size and spacing, but the distinctive notches and terminals make it most effective as a characterful display serif.
The font projects an old-world, ornamental tone—part classic bookish serif, part theatrical signage. Its spurs and forked terminals create a crafted, slightly gothic flavor that feels ceremonial and dramatic rather than minimal or purely utilitarian.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif construction with ornamental, engraved-like terminal treatment, creating a recognizable voice for dramatic or heritage-leaning typography. The consistent spurred details suggest an intention to evoke craftsmanship and historical flavor while remaining structurally readable.
The notched details are consistently applied across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the face a distinctive “cut” texture at text sizes. Numerals match the letterforms’ robustness and share the same forked terminal language, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
