A traditional serif with compact, well-contained proportions and a steady vertical rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with clean, bracketed serifs and distinctive spurred/forked terminals that add sharp, decorative bite at joins and stroke endings. Curves are smooth and slightly tapered into terminals, while straight stems remain crisp, giving the face a disciplined texture that stays readable in continuous text. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced; lowercase has a conventional construction with a normal x-height and clear counters, producing an even, text-friendly color.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and book or magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The spurred terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand marks that want tradition with a slightly more characterful finish.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an understated ornamental edge from the spurs and tapered terminals. It reads as refined and editorial rather than playful, evoking book typography and traditional print while still feeling a touch distinctive.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable, classic reading face while distinguishing itself through crisp, forked/spurred details at terminals. The aim appears to balance familiar serif proportions with small ornamental cues that add identity without disrupting legibility.
Spacing appears measured and comfortable in paragraph settings, with a calm line-to-line flow and clear word shapes. The numerals and capitals carry the same sharp terminal language, helping the set feel cohesive across display and text sizes.
