A serif text face with bracketed serifs and subtly calligraphic modeling. Stems show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth curves and tapered joins, while many capitals and ascenders feature forked or spurred terminals that add a crisp, slightly ornamental edge. The design keeps counters relatively open and maintains a steady baseline rhythm, with narrow letterforms that still read cleanly in continuous text. Numerals follow the same old-style influence, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls and tapered finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts. The decorative spur details also make it effective for literary titling, heritage-leaning branding, and formal communications where a refined, traditional voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a hint of decorative sharpness from the forked terminals. It feels authoritative and composed rather than playful, lending a mildly historic, editorial character without becoming overly flamboyant.
Likely designed to provide a readable serif for text settings while distinguishing itself through forked terminals and mid-stem spur details. The intention appears to balance conventional proportions and smooth modulation with small ornamental gestures that add character at display sizes and in headings.
The uppercase set appears more stylized than the lowercase, with several capitals showing pronounced spur details and tapered apexes, creating a slightly engraved or inscriptional flavor. Curved letters and diagonals keep a controlled, upright posture, and the punctuation and figures harmonize with the serif detailing for consistent texture.
