A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared, forked/spurred terminals that add ornament without becoming overly decorative. The strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and occasional beak-like endings on arms and diagonals, giving a slightly calligraphic, chiseled rhythm. Capitals are stately with broad curves and confident verticals, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and clear counters; several letters show lively spurs and asymmetric details that create a varied texture across words. Numerals follow the same sharp, angled logic, with pronounced terminals and a traditional, print-oriented stance.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The distinctive spurred terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, and it can support formal branding or invitation work that benefits from a classic, engraved feel.
The font reads as classical and literary, projecting authority and refinement with a hint of antique character. Its sharp terminals and spurred details introduce a slightly dramatic, storybook tone that feels suited to historically flavored or ceremonial typography.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional high-contrast serif by adding expressive, forked/spurred terminal cues and crisp finishing details. The goal seems to be a typeface that feels authoritative and print-classical, while still offering a recognizable, slightly ornamental signature in display use.
In text settings the pronounced contrast and terminal shaping produce a dark, patterned color, especially where spurs and beaks repeat across stems. The overall construction remains upright and disciplined, but the ornamental terminals add personality that becomes more noticeable at display sizes and in headings.
