A formal, calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant and high-contrast strokes that shift between hairline entry/exit strokes and fuller downstrokes. Letterforms are tall and slender with compact counters and a notably small x-height, giving the lowercase a long, upward-reaching rhythm. Terminals frequently finish in tapered points or gentle curls, and many capitals include looped swashes and ornamental cross-strokes. Connections are fluid but not uniformly continuous, creating a handwritten cadence with variable spacing and width from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to display settings where its fine hairlines and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, product labels, and short headlines. It works particularly well when given generous size and spacing, and when used sparingly for emphasis rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is graceful and classic, evoking personal correspondence and formal stationery. Its thin hairlines and looping capitals add a romantic, decorative feel, while the narrow, vertical proportions keep it poised and upscale.
The design appears intended to emulate elegant pointed-pen handwriting: tall, slender forms, dramatic stroke contrast, and ornamental capitals that add ceremony. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and a polished, formal impression over utilitarian, text-first neutrality.
The caps are especially expressive, with several letterforms featuring enclosed loops and long, airy ascenders/descenders that can extend into surrounding space. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with tapered strokes and a lightly ornamental, handwritten shape, pairing naturally with the alphabetic forms.
