A serif typeface with moderately modulated strokes and generous, rounded forms. Serifs are bracketing and often end in forked or spurred terminals, with small beak-like or teardrop details that give strokes a slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are full and smooth, counters are open, and joins feel softly modeled rather than mechanical. Overall spacing reads comfortable and the letters carry a slightly lively, hand-influenced rhythm while remaining clear at text sizes.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and literary branding where a warm classic serif is desired. The decorative spur details also make it effective for display settings such as chapter titles, pull quotes, packaging, and invitations where a touch of ornament can add personality without sacrificing readability.
The design projects a traditional, literary tone with a hint of decorative flair. Its spurred terminals and softly tapered details feel personable and slightly whimsical, evoking old-style printing, book typography, and classic editorial moods rather than a stark modern voice.
The font appears designed to combine old-style readability with distinctive, forked finishing strokes that add character. Its intention is likely to provide a familiar serif foundation while differentiating through small ornamental terminals that create a memorable, slightly storybook texture on the page.
Uppercase forms show pronounced, sculpted terminals and gently swelling curves, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable skeleton with distinctive finishing strokes on letters like a, c, e, s, and t. Numerals match the text color and styling, with rounded shapes and small ornamental spur details that keep them consistent with the letters.
