A delicate, right-leaning calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Letterforms are built from flowing, pen-like strokes with frequent entry and exit swashes, especially in capitals, creating a lively baseline rhythm. Proportions are slender with compact lowercase bodies and long ascenders/descenders that add vertical elegance, while counters remain relatively open for a light, airy color in text.
Well-suited to invitations, wedding suites, certificates, and other formal stationery where an elegant italic script is expected. It also works for editorial display, book titling, and premium branding accents, especially when set at larger sizes where the fine contrast and swashes can be appreciated.
The font conveys a polished, ceremonial tone—poised and graceful rather than casual. Its sweeping capitals and fine hairlines suggest traditional etiquette and literary refinement, giving compositions a romantic, classic atmosphere.
The design appears intended to emulate formal calligraphy in a consistent, typeset form—prioritizing graceful movement, contrast, and decorative capital presence for sophisticated display use.
Capitals carry the strongest personality through extended curves and flourish-like hooks, while the lowercase stays comparatively restrained but still clearly handwritten in its stroke joins and soft curves. Numerals follow the same italic, calligraphic logic with gentle curves and thin connecting strokes, matching the overall lightness.
