A delicate italic with hairline strokes and gently modulated thick–thin movement, resembling a pointed-pen or formal calligraphic translation. Letterforms are narrow and tall with a high slant, crisp terminals, and subtle entry/exit flicks rather than heavy serifs. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is airy, with noticeable variations in character widths and a slightly lively baseline feel. Numerals follow the same elegant, slender construction, with a distinctive, looped “2” and a finely curved “9.”
Best suited to invitations, announcements, and formal correspondence where elegance is the priority. It also works well for editorial accents—chapter openers, pull quotes, bylines, and short passages—plus premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined handwritten character. For longer reading, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous leading.
The font conveys polish and restraint with a poetic, old-world tone. Its light touch and sweeping italics feel cultured and personal, suggesting handwritten formality rather than casual script. The overall impression is quiet luxury—expressive without becoming ornate or overly decorative.
The design appears intended to capture the grace of formal italic handwriting in a typographic, repeatable form—prioritizing fluid motion, understated flourish, and a light, refined presence. It balances calligraphic expression with enough regularity to function in setting words and short paragraphs.
Uppercase shapes lean toward simple classical capitals with selective flourish (notably on forms like Q and J), keeping headings readable while still feeling special. Lowercase forms are fluid and consistent, with modest swashes on letters such as f, g, y, and z that add movement in text. The extremely thin joins and terminals make spacing and line length feel important to preserve clarity.
