A decorative serif with razor-thin hairlines set against heavier vertical stems and softly bracketed serifs. The design leans on calligraphic modulation: many glyphs finish in tapered hooks, teardrop/ball terminals, and occasional looped entry strokes, especially in the capitals. Proportions are refined and slightly narrow in feel, with small counters in places and a noticeably short x-height that makes ascenders and capitals stand tall. The overall rhythm is crisp and high-fashion, with a mix of restrained lowercase and more embellished uppercase forms.
Best suited to display settings where its delicate hairlines and ornamental capitals can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, editorial headlines, boutique branding, premium packaging, and cover typography. It can work for short passages at comfortable sizes, but the fine strokes and short x-height make it less ideal for small UI text or dense body copy.
The tone reads formal yet playful—like an invitation script translated into a serif text face. Its flourishes and hairline details suggest boutique luxury, period styling, and a touch of stagecraft rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with expressive calligraphic detailing, offering a refined display face that feels traditional at a glance while delivering distinctive swash character in caps and select forms.
Capitals carry most of the personality, with several swash-like constructions and decorative interior strokes, while the lowercase stays comparatively simple for readability. Numerals maintain the same contrast profile and include curved terminals that match the serifed, ornamental theme.
