A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that often end in forked or spurred terminals. Curves are taut and slightly calligraphic, with crisp entry/exit strokes and pointed joins that give counters a lively, faceted feel. The capitals read stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with compact apertures, a two-storey “g,” and a distinctive, slightly angled “e” cross-stroke. Numerals follow the same sharp, chiseled logic, with elegant bowls and tapered terminals that keep the texture crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and titling where its contrast and spurred terminals can read clearly and add character. It also works well for editorial and book-cover typography that aims for a classic, literary voice, particularly in medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bookish and authoritative, with a hint of theatrical flair from the spurs and sharpened terminals. It feels rooted in classical print typography, projecting seriousness and sophistication while still remaining energetic and characterful.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif foundation with added personality through forked terminals and spurred details, balancing classic readability with a more expressive, display-ready texture.
The design’s spurred mid-stem details and forked terminals add visual sparkle, especially in larger settings, and create a slightly more ornamental texture than a plain oldstyle text face. Stroke endings stay consistently sharp, producing strong letterform separation and a refined, engraved-like presence.
