A delicately drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine hairlines. The forms are compact and vertically oriented, with a relatively small x-height and generous ascenders/descenders that create an airy rhythm in text. Serifs are bracketed and frequently resolve into spurred or forked terminals, giving many strokes a slightly decorative, sharpened finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, and counters stay open despite the narrow proportions, producing a crisp, engraved-like texture at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other typographic settings where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also work for packaging and brand marks that want a classical, premium tone, especially when set with ample leading and careful tracking. The narrow build helps fit longer titles into constrained spaces without losing a formal presence.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, with a quiet formality that feels traditional rather than flashy. Its spurred terminals add a subtle ornamental flavor, suggesting vintage editorial typography, classical invitations, or refined display settings. The impression is poised and meticulous, with a hint of eccentric charm in the terminal details.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model with extra sharpness and ornamental spurs, balancing traditional readability with distinctive terminal character. Its compact proportions and small x-height suggest a focus on elegant typography and a text color reminiscent of historic printing, while the forked details provide a recognizable signature in display use.
In the sample text, the tight width and high modulation produce a bright, shimmering page color; spacing appears steady but the fine joins and hairlines make the design feel more at home in print-like contexts and at moderate-to-large sizes. Numerals echo the same delicate contrast and serif treatment, maintaining a cohesive, stately texture across mixed content.
