A wide, oldstyle serif with moderate contrast and a steady, upright rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into forked or spurred terminals, giving stems and joins a subtly ornamental finish. Bowls are generously rounded, counters are open, and curves carry a slightly calligraphic swelling rather than a purely geometric construction. The numerals are robust and legible with traditional proportions that match the text color of the letters.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, book covers, and short-to-medium reading passages where a traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive terminals make it effective for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a classic voice with extra character.
The tone feels classic and literary, with a lightly decorative edge from the forked terminals and spurs. It suggests historical print, formal announcements, and a confident, established voice rather than a minimalist or purely utilitarian mood.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif model with added personality through forked/spurred terminals and softly calligraphic modulation. It aims to balance readability and warmth with a recognizable, slightly ornate signature in key letter endings.
In text, the face builds a dark, even color with clear word shapes, while the distinctive terminal detailing remains visible at display sizes. The wide set and rounded forms give it a spacious, comfortable texture, and the ornamentation reads as refined rather than showy.
