A serif display face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a broad, roomy set that gives letters generous horizontal presence. Serifs are flared and often forked or spurred, with small mid-stem notches and pointed terminal details that add ornament without becoming overly intricate. Curves show a calligraphic stress, and joins are clean and crisp, producing sharp silhouettes in letters like S, C, and G. The lowercase keeps a conventional x-height with distinctly shaped bowls and feet, while capitals appear stately and wide, with consistent rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display typography—headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine titling, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a formal serif voice. It can also work for short, prominent passages where its sharp contrast and spurred terminals remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is traditional and ceremonious, evoking bookish authority and classic print culture. Its spurred details and high-contrast strokes lend a slightly antique, engraved feel that reads as refined rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif presence with added character through forked and spurred terminals, combining traditional proportions with ornamental finishing for distinctive, premium-looking titles.
Spacing appears deliberately open, supporting large sizes and giving the ornate terminals room to breathe. The numerals share the same serif treatment and contrast, keeping a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
