A robust serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and distinctive forked, spurred terminals that create a slightly decorative edge. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Proportions are generous and open, with broad letterforms, roomy counters, and softly modeled curves; terminals often flare or hook subtly, especially on S, C, and the lowercase. Numerals share the same sturdy, sculpted treatment and sit comfortably alongside capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The broad forms and distinctive terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that benefits from a traditional, slightly decorative texture.
The tone feels traditional and bookish, with a hint of antique personality from the spurs and flared terminals. It reads as confident and established rather than minimalist, suggesting classic editorial or literary settings with a touch of ornament.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar, literary serif foundation while differentiating itself through forked/spurred terminals and subtly calligraphic shaping. It aims for readability with added character, offering an authoritative yet personable page color.
The serif detailing is consistent across cases, giving the face a cohesive, crafted look. In the text sample it maintains clarity at large sizes while the terminal spurs add texture and color to paragraphs and headings.
