A crisp serif with strong stroke-contrast and a lightly calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and often end in forked or spurred terminals, giving many strokes a hooked, slightly flared finish rather than a blunt cutoff. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals introduce sharp, decorative points that enliven the rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with moderate apertures and a slightly varied, lively texture across letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its decorative terminals can be appreciated. It works well for book covers, cultural programming, posters, and formal stationery that benefits from a classic serif with extra character.
The overall tone is classical and slightly theatrical, combining old-style refinement with ornamental bite. The forked terminals and subtle hooks add a crafted, engraved feel that reads as formal, literary, and a touch gothic without becoming fully blackletter.
This design appears intended to provide a traditional serif foundation with added personality through forked terminals and mid-stroke spurs. The goal reads as elevating familiar proportions with ornamental detailing for distinctive display and literary typography.
In text, the distinctive terminals create a patterned sparkle, especially in words with many vertical stems and round forms. The figures share the same contrast and terminal language, helping numerals sit comfortably alongside capitals in display settings.
