A serif text face with moderately bracketed serifs and frequent forked or spurred terminals that give many strokes a notched, slightly flared finish. Strokes show medium contrast with a generally upright stance and broad proportions, producing an open, steady rhythm in lines of text. Curves are full and slightly irregular in the way they join stems, and many letters include small mid-stem flicks or beak-like details that add texture without turning into full ornament. The overall construction feels bookish and robust, with rounded counters and a confident baseline presence.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, and long-form editorial where a traditional serif voice is desired but with extra character. It also works effectively for literary titles, magazine features, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a historical or storybook tone while remaining legible in paragraphs.
The spurred terminals and subtly calligraphic joins create a tone that feels antique and literary, with a hint of playful eccentricity. It reads as classic and trustworthy at text sizes, but the distinctive forked details add personality that suggests folklore, period print, or handcrafted editorial design.
The design appears intended to modernize an old-style serif feel by introducing forked/spurred terminals and small calligraphic cues, creating a readable text face with a distinctive, slightly folkloric signature. It balances conventional proportions with consistent decorative edge details to stand out in display while staying functional for continuous reading.
The distinctive terminal shaping is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving headlines a recognizable silhouette and body text a slightly textured color. Figures follow the same serifed, tapered logic as the letters, keeping mixed alphanumeric settings visually cohesive.
