A delicate, high-contrast calligraphic serif with hairline connections and crisp, tapered terminals. The design mixes classical roman structure with pronounced swash entry strokes and looping flourishes, especially in capitals, creating a lively left-to-right rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, counters feel open, and proportions lean toward generous width with airy spacing, giving the letterforms a poised, display-forward texture. Numerals and lowercase keep the same contrast logic, pairing thin joins with heavier verticals for a polished, engraved look.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short, prominent text where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated. It works well for wedding and event materials, luxury branding, beauty or fashion packaging, and editorial pull quotes or section openers. For longer text, it is most effective when set large with comfortable spacing to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and decorative, with an upscale, boutique sensibility. Its sweeping flourishes read as romantic and ceremonial, lending a sense of occasion and crafted elegance rather than everyday utility. The combination of restraint in the lowercase and drama in select capitals creates a refined, slightly theatrical voice.
The font appears designed to merge formal calligraphic flourish with a classical serif backbone, delivering an upscale display face that feels crafted and ceremonial. Its contrast and swash behavior suggest an emphasis on expressive capitals and elegant word-shapes for branding and occasion-driven typography.
Capitals carry much of the personality through extended swashes and looped strokes, while the lowercase remains comparatively straightforward, helping maintain readability in short passages. The very thin hairlines and pointed terminals suggest best performance at larger sizes and in print-like, high-resolution settings where the contrast can stay crisp.
