A slanted, calligraphy-led italic with very strong thick–thin modulation and a smooth, pen-like rhythm. Strokes transition quickly from hairlines to full stems, with tapered entries and exits that frequently resolve into soft teardrop terminals. Serifs and finishing strokes feel lightly bracketed and brushlike rather than rigid, and many capitals carry restrained swashes that extend the baseline and cap-line for added flourish. Proportions lean narrow and lively, with a notably small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders that create an airy texture in longer setting.
This face suits display settings where a formal, ornamental italic is desired—wedding suites, invitations, certificates, luxury branding, and premium packaging. It can also work for editorial pull quotes or short headings, especially when paired with a calmer serif for body copy to preserve readability and protect fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonial, with a classic, romantic elegance. Its flowing movement and delicate hairlines suggest tradition and craftsmanship, giving text a dressed-up, invitational feel rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to capture the look of pointed-pen or formal script lettering in a typographic, unconnected italic form—prioritizing graceful motion, contrast, and decorative capitals for expressive display typography.
Uppercase forms are especially expressive, with looping strokes and asymmetric flourishes that help headlines feel distinctive. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing strong vertical stress with thin connecting strokes, so they read best at comfortable display sizes where hairlines won’t disappear.
