A narrow, high-contrast serif with crisp wedge-like serifs and frequent forked or spurred terminals that create a lively, slightly irregular edge. Strokes transition quickly between thick verticals and thin hairlines, with pointed joins and occasional notch-like cut-ins that read as ink-trap–style details at small corners. Proportions are compact and vertical, with relatively tight bowls and a steady, upright rhythm; counters stay open enough for text, while the finish remains sharp and angular rather than soft or bracketed.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover titling where a classic serif voice with extra character is desirable. It can also work for branding and display applications that want a traditional foundation without looking generic; for longer passages, moderate sizes and comfortable spacing help the sharp contrast and spurs read cleanly.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, but with an assertive, slightly mischievous bite from the spurs and sharp terminals. It suggests old-world print and editorial seriousness while still carrying a decorative, storybook character that keeps it from feeling purely neutral.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classic serif model with more dramatic contrast and decorative spurs, creating a distinctive texture and memorable silhouettes. Its narrow build and crisp terminals emphasize efficiency and verticality while preserving a formal, print-oriented feel.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and high contrast create pronounced texture and sparkle, especially around capitals and punctuation. The spurred details can become a prominent stylistic signature, giving headings a distinctive edge while adding visual noise if set too small or too tightly tracked.
