A sturdy serif with compact proportions and an energetic, carved-in feel. Strokes are heavy with modest thick–thin modulation, and many joins show small ink-trap–like notches that create sharp internal corners. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into forked or spurred terminals, giving stems a slightly sculpted profile. Bowls and rounds are full and weighty, while counters stay relatively tight; overall spacing reads moderately tight with a strong, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited to display work where the sharp joins and spurred terminals can be appreciated—headlines, cover typography, pull quotes, and branding marks. It can work for short text in editorial settings when generous size and leading are available, but its tight counters and strong detailing may feel dense in long small-size passages.
The tone is traditional but forceful, combining a bookish, old-style sensibility with ornamental bite. The spurs and chiseled joins add drama and a slightly vintage, poster-like attitude, making it feel confident and attention-getting rather than quiet or neutral.
Likely designed to deliver a robust serif voice with distinctive forked/spurred finishing and carved internal shaping, balancing classical letterform structure with decorative edge for impactful reading and memorable titles.
Uppercase forms read stable and monumental, while lowercase shows more personality through terminals, pronounced joins, and occasional ball-like endings. Numerals are similarly weighty and integrate well with the letterforms, maintaining the same sharp internal shaping and serif treatment.
