A wide, book-oriented serif with bracketed wedge serifs and distinctive spurred terminals that give many strokes a forked, slightly calligraphic finish. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly swelling curves and sturdy verticals, producing a steady, readable rhythm in text. Counters are open and generous, with rounded joins and subtly tapered endings; capitals feel broad and anchored, while lowercase maintains a calm, traditional texture with occasional decorative nicks and hooks at terminals.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors at comfortable sizes, and display settings where a classical serif voice is desired. Its wide footprint and crisp, spurred terminals also suit mastheads, chapter titles, pull quotes, and branding that aims for a traditional, institutional feel.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, leaning toward a dignified, slightly old-world voice. The spurred terminals add a hint of ornament that reads as learned and traditional rather than playful, making the font feel authoritative and literary.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional text serif by combining stable, readable proportions with decorative spurs and forked terminals that add character without sacrificing clarity. It targets a refined, print-forward look that holds up in both extended reading and prominent headings.
In the sample text, the wide set and pronounced serifs create strong horizontal presence, which can feel expansive in headlines and well-paced in larger text sizes. Numerals match the serifed, slightly tapered construction and carry the same confident, engraved-like color on the page.
