A compact serif with tapered, slightly flared strokes and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and moderately rounded, while terminals often finish in pointed, forked or spurred details that add bite to joins and stem ends. The overall contrast stays restrained, giving a steady color on the page, but the silhouette feels lively due to the angular serifs and occasional mid-stem nicks and spurs. Capitals read stately and sculpted; lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with a consistent rhythm and a tidy, controlled texture in text.
It performs well in editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form settings where a controlled serif texture is valued. The distinctive spurs and sharp terminals also make it effective for display uses such as headlines, identity work, and premium packaging where a traditional but characterful serif can carry tone.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a hint of theatrical sharpness from the spurred terminals. It suggests tradition and authority rather than softness, making it feel suitable for institutional or editorial contexts where a refined, slightly ornamental voice is desired.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classical serif foundation with added personality through forked and spurred terminals. It balances readability with decorative sharpness, offering a historically inflected voice that remains disciplined enough for continuous text while still feeling distinctive in titles.
In running text, the tight proportions and pointed serif treatment create a crisp, etched impression, especially in diagonals and at stroke endings. Numerals follow the same tapered logic, staying clear and sturdy while maintaining the font’s distinctive, pricked terminal style.
