A delicate, slanted calligraphic face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, pen-like curves. Capitals are tall and open with occasional swash-like entry/exit strokes and gently tapered terminals, while the lowercase is compact with a small body height and long ascenders/descenders that create a vertical, airy rhythm. Strokes show consistent contrast and a controlled, flowing ductus, with modest joins and a generally unconnected structure that keeps word shapes crisp despite the script influence. Numerals follow the same refined, lightly drawn style, with elegant curves and tapered ends.
Well-suited to wedding and event stationery, certificates, and other ceremonial materials where a refined handwritten impression is desired. It also works effectively for short headlines, boutique packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a classic, calligraphic tone.
The overall tone is poised and graceful, evoking formal correspondence, invitations, and classic editorial elegance. Its flourish is restrained rather than exuberant, giving it a polished, romantic feel suitable for sophisticated branding.
Designed to simulate a neat, formal hand executed with a pointed pen, balancing elegant contrast and gentle flourishes with a clear, typographic structure. The emphasis appears to be on creating an upscale script look that remains usable in text-like settings when set with ample size and spacing.
The face relies on generous ascenders and descenders for personality, and spacing feels intentionally open, helping the narrow letterforms avoid congestion in longer lines. Capitals carry much of the decorative character, while the lowercase remains comparatively simple to maintain readability.
