A flowing, right-slanted calligraphic italic with smooth, pen-like modulation and tapered terminals. Letterforms are built from rounded bowls and long, curving entry/exit strokes, with occasional swash-like extensions on capitals and select lowercase. The rhythm is continuous and lively despite the unconnected construction, and the set shows deliberate, consistent curves, compact counters, and a relatively modest x-height against taller ascenders and deep descenders. Numerals follow the same italic, calligraphic logic, with curved strokes and old-style-feeling proportions that blend naturally with text.
Well-suited to short-to-medium settings where an elegant script-like presence is desired, such as invitations, certificates, premium packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for display headlines or pull quotes where its swashy capitals and italic flow can be given space to breathe.
The tone reads refined and traditional, with a gentle, romantic warmth. Its flourished capitals and soft, looping forms evoke invitation-style formality and a literary, classic sensibility rather than a modern, minimalist voice.
This design appears intended to capture the polish of formal pen lettering in a readable, typographic form—combining consistent calligraphic stress with decorative flourishes that add ceremony and charm to titles and featured text.
Capitals carry much of the personality through broad curves and extended strokes, while lowercase maintains a steady forward motion and clear italic stress. The design favors graceful silhouette and texture over strict geometric regularity, giving lines of text an expressive, handwritten cadence.
