A serif text face with soft, bracketed serifs and distinctive forked/spurred terminals that add bite to otherwise smooth, classical forms. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered joins, and counters are open and round, giving the letters a lively rhythm rather than rigid geometry. The proportions read slightly generous and bookish, with carefully shaped curves (notably in round letters and bowls) and subtly animated ends on stems and arms. Numerals are similarly serifed and curvaceous, keeping the same moderate contrast and ornamental finishing across the set.
This font suits editorial typography—books, magazines, and cultural journalism—where a classic serif voice with added character is desirable. It also performs well for display uses such as book covers, headings, packaging, and identity work that benefits from refined, slightly ornate detailing.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with a touch of eccentricity from the spurred terminals and flared endings. It suggests an editorial, humanist sensibility—serious enough for text, but with enough personality to feel bespoke and slightly whimsical.
The design appears intended to blend familiar, readable serif construction with distinctive forked/spurred terminals to create a recognizable voice. It aims to feel rooted in traditional text typography while offering enough ornamental nuance to stand out in titles and branded settings.
In the sample text, the distinctive terminals become more noticeable at larger sizes, where the small spurs and flares read as intentional detailing rather than noise. The design maintains a steady baseline and consistent spacing rhythm, while the more decorative endings give headlines and pull quotes extra character without tipping into novelty.
