A formal calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation that mimics a broad-nib or brush-pen stroke. Capitals are large and decorative, built from looping entry strokes, teardrop terminals, and occasional swashes that extend into the surrounding space. Lowercase forms are mostly unconnected, with compact bowls and a relatively small x-height that creates a clear hierarchy between the ornate capitals and the quieter text forms. Stroke endings alternate between tapered hairlines and rounded, inked terminals, giving the letterforms a lively, hand-led rhythm.
Best suited to display sizes where the contrast and swashes can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, certificates, boutique branding, product packaging, and short headline phrases. It can also work for pull quotes or name treatments when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing to accommodate the extended capitals.
The overall tone feels classic and ceremonious—polished enough for invitations and formal headings, yet still warm and personal due to the hand-drawn movement and expressive flourishes. Its swashy capitals add a romantic, slightly vintage character that reads as celebratory rather than casual.
Designed to provide a formal, calligraphy-inspired look with expressive capitals and a hand-guided texture, aiming for elegance and personality in short to medium display text. The restrained, mostly unconnected lowercase supports readability while still maintaining a consistent ornamental script voice.
Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably across the alphabet, contributing to an organic, handwritten cadence. The numerals echo the script’s contrast and curvature, with simplified shapes that remain decorative through angled stress and tapered terminals.
