A slanted calligraphic italic with flowing, unconnected letterforms and a pen-like rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered terminals, curled entries, and looped exit strokes, especially in the capitals. Proportions lean narrow and tall, with a relatively small x-height and long, airy ascenders and descenders that keep the texture light and open. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same cursive stress and gentle curvature, with consistent, smooth contours across the set.
Well suited to wedding and event stationery, invitations, greeting cards, certificates, and other formal collateral where a classic script voice is desired. It works best for headlines, names, short phrases, and display settings, and benefits from slightly generous letterspacing or careful spacing in longer lines.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonial, evoking traditional handwriting used for occasions and personal correspondence. Its generous swashes and soft curves feel romantic and welcoming, while the controlled contrast keeps it composed rather than playful.
Designed to emulate formal calligraphy in an italic, pen-written style, prioritizing elegance and expressive capitals over utilitarian text color. The restrained body shapes paired with decorative swashes suggest an intent to deliver a classic, occasion-oriented script for display typography.
Capitals are the most decorative element, featuring prominent loops and extended strokes that can add personality but also increase the need for breathing room in layout. At text sizes the light hairlines and small x-height encourage use in larger settings where the detailing can remain clear.
