A slanted, calligraphic italic with lively, tapering strokes and a clear broad-pen/brush feel. Letterforms are built from sweeping entry and exit strokes with pointed terminals, occasional spur-like flicks, and gently modulated thickness that emphasizes the diagonals. Proportions are compact in the lowercase, with rounded bowls and fluid joins that keep characters distinct even without connecting strokes. Capitals are more expressive and varied, featuring long curved arms and angled stress that create a rhythmic, handwritten cadence across words.
Works best for display settings where its swashes and stroke modulation can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, elegant packaging, boutique branding, certificates, and short headlines or pull quotes. For longer passages, it will be most successful at comfortable sizes with generous spacing to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is graceful and ceremonial—more like formal penmanship than casual handwriting. Its sharp terminals and flowing movement suggest a classic, romantic sensibility suited to expressive, curated typography rather than neutral text setting.
Designed to evoke refined, handwritten calligraphy in a typographic form, balancing legibility with expressive movement. The goal appears to be a formal italic voice with decorative energy—suitable for conveying tradition, luxury, and occasion-driven messaging.
Stroke endings frequently resolve into thin, blade-like points, and many letters show subtle directional flare (notably in capitals and in ascenders/descenders), which adds motion at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same italic calligraphy logic, with angled tops and tapered curves, keeping them visually consistent with the letters.
