A compact oldstyle serif with softly bracketed serifs and distinctive forked/spurred terminals that show up on strokes like the C, E, F, and S. Strokes are largely even with gentle modulation, and the joins and curves feel slightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. The lowercase has a sturdy, readable skeleton with rounded bowls and small, pointed nubs at key terminals; the italic is not present here, and the roman keeps an upright, steady rhythm. Figures are similarly serifed and slightly idiosyncratic, with open counters and modest width variation that keeps texture lively in text.
Well suited to book interiors, literary projects, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. The spurred terminals also make it a strong choice for packaging, labels, and brand identities that want a traditional, handcrafted feel, and it can add distinctive flavor to headlines and pull quotes.
The overall tone is friendly and narrative, evoking classic print and storybook typography rather than a modern editorial voice. Its spurs and tapered terminals add a hand-touched, slightly rustic personality that feels traditional without becoming overly formal.
The design appears aimed at providing a readable, traditional serif with extra personality through forked/spurred terminals, delivering a familiar text face foundation with a decorative, folkloric accent.
In the text sample, the letterforms produce a dark, even color while the ornate terminals remain visible, giving paragraphs a textured, slightly decorative edge. Capitals are robust and straightforward, while the lowercase carries most of the character through its spur details and rounded forms.
