A right-leaning, calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin contrast and tapered terminals that suggest a broad-pen or pointed-pen influence. Letterforms are fluid and slightly variable in rhythm, with sweeping entry/exit strokes, soft curves, and occasional sharp joins that add sparkle. Capitals are more ornate and expansive than the lowercase, while the lowercase sits comparatively compact, reinforcing a petite internal scale and lively texture.
Best suited to display sizes for invitations, event materials, certificates, packaging accents, and branding that benefits from a signature-like flourish. It can work well for headlines, pull quotes, and short passages where the expressive italic texture is a feature. For longer body text, it will be most effective when given generous spacing and moderate line lengths to preserve clarity.
