A slanted calligraphic script with very thin hairlines and sharp, swelling downstrokes that create a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Letterforms are compact and upright-leaning in their internal structure, with narrow bowls and tight counters, while ascenders and capitals often extend into graceful loops and entry/exit strokes. The stroke edges show subtle texture and intermittent roughness, giving the impression of dry ink or a lightly worn print. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall color stays delicate, with emphasis placed on sweeping capitals and long, tapering terminals.
Best suited to short to medium display text where the swashed capitals and delicate contrast can be appreciated, such as wedding suites, event stationery, boutique branding, labels, and romantic editorial headings. The textured strokes also make it effective for designs aiming for a handcrafted or lightly antique look, especially at larger sizes.
The font reads as elegant yet lightly weathered, balancing refined penmanship with an artisanal, imperfect finish. It carries a romantic, old-world tone suited to nostalgic or boutique-oriented design, while the distressed texture adds a human, crafted feel rather than a polished modern one.
Likely designed to evoke formal handwritten script—inked with a pointed pen or brush—while introducing controlled distress to suggest age, tactility, or imperfect printing. The emphasis on decorative capitals and tapered terminals indicates a focus on expressive display typography rather than dense body text.
Capitals are the primary display feature, featuring prominent swashes and looped forms that can dominate a line. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic with thin strokes and occasional irregular ink texture, keeping the set visually cohesive.
