A traditional serif with a broad footprint, moderate stroke contrast, and a calm, upright stance. Serifs are distinctly bracketed and often end in small beaks or forked/spurred shapes, giving many strokes a subtly chiseled finish rather than a flat cut. Curves are generous and slightly organic, while the rhythm stays even across text, with sturdy verticals and softly tapered joins. Numerals and capitals read clearly, with open counters and a consistent, editorial texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a familiar serif voice and steady text color are desired. The distinctive spurred terminals also make it effective for magazine headlines, institutional branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, heritage-leaning presence.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking printed books and established institutions. The small spurs and beaked endings add a hint of ornament and craftsmanship without becoming decorative, lending a poised, slightly antique seriousness to headlines and body copy.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model with added character in the terminals and serifs—keeping readability and conventional proportions while introducing spurs and beaks that provide a recognizable signature in both display and running text.
The face shows a noticeable but restrained serif personality: terminals frequently resolve into angled or hooked details, and diagonals (such as in K, V, W, X) feel crisp and deliberate. In text settings it maintains a confident, spacious color that supports long lines and prominent display sizes alike.
