A delicate calligraphic italic with hairline entry/exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms lean decisively with a smooth, continuous rhythm, featuring tapered terminals, occasional swash-like caps, and gently looping joins in the lowercase. Capitals are tall and open with generous curves and extended strokes, while lowercase counters stay small and compact, creating a distinctly petite body against long ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved forms and tapered ends that read as drawn rather than constructed.
Best suited to invitations, wedding stationery, certificates, luxury branding accents, and short editorial headlines where its graceful contrast and italic motion can breathe. It works especially well for names, titles, pull quotes, and formal announcements, and is less suited to dense paragraphs or tiny UI text due to its fine hairlines and compact lowercase.
The overall tone is graceful and poised, suggesting etiquette, ceremony, and classic correspondence. Its fine strokes and flowing movement feel intimate and upscale, with a light, lyrical presence that favors sophistication over blunt clarity.
The design intent reads as a formal, pen-influenced italic meant to evoke traditional calligraphy in a clean, unconnected letter style. It prioritizes elegance, flourish, and rhythmic stroke contrast to deliver a premium, occasion-driven voice.
Spacing appears airy with ample white space around strokes, which enhances the refined texture but makes small sizes and low-contrast settings more fragile. The most expressive character comes through in capitals and in letters with long descenders, where the stroke contrast and terminal flicks add personality.
