A compact serif with sturdy verticals, moderate stroke modulation, and tightly controlled proportions. Serifs are small and sharply defined, often ending in forked or spurred terminals that add bite at joins and stroke endings. Curves are slightly squared off, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm feels condensed with tall caps and a low x-height. Numerals and lowercase follow the same firm, upright structure, with clear, crisp interior shapes and consistent, slightly dramatic stroke endings.
Best suited to headings, titles, and short-to-medium text where its compact width and pronounced terminals can build a strong typographic color. It works well for editorial design, book covers, posters, and brand marks that want a classic serif voice with a slightly ornamental finish.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a slightly theatrical edge created by the spurred terminals and compact stance. It reads as vintage and authoritative rather than soft or casual, bringing a sense of formality and old-style print character.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority and heritage while differentiating itself through spurred, forked terminals and a condensed, high-impact silhouette. Its proportions and finishing details suggest a focus on strong typographic presence and a recognizable texture in display and editorial contexts.
Capitals show strong presence and a vertical, display-ready posture, while the lowercase stays compact and dense, emphasizing texture over airiness. The forked/spurred finishing details become more noticeable at larger sizes, giving the face a distinctive signature without relying on extreme contrast.
