A right-leaning, calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Strokes feel pen-driven, with flared entry and exit points and occasional teardrop-like finishes that create a lively, swirling rhythm. Capitals are relatively large and decorative, using broad curves and sweeping diagonals; lowercase maintains a consistent slant with compact counters and gently varied letter widths. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, angled construction, keeping the set visually cohesive in display sizes.
Well-suited for invitations, announcements, and wedding collateral where elegant italics and decorative capitals are desirable. It also works for boutique branding, premium packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes that benefit from an upscale, calligraphic presence.
The overall tone is refined and ceremonial, combining traditional calligraphy cues with a slightly theatrical flair. Its swashes and strong contrast suggest sophistication and formality, with an expressive, romantic energy rather than a neutral editorial voice.
The letterforms appear designed to emulate formal pen calligraphy in a typographic system, prioritizing expressive contrast, graceful motion, and decorative capital shapes for display-oriented settings.
The design reads best when given room: the pronounced italics, sharp hairlines, and flourishing terminals can visually merge at tight tracking or small sizes. Uppercase forms carry much of the personality and can dominate a line, which can be used intentionally for emphasis in headings and initials.
