A formal script with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp thick–thin modulation that suggests a pointed-pen influence. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with smooth, continuous curves, tapered terminals, and frequent entry/exit strokes that support connection in running text. Capitals feature generous loops and occasional swash-like extensions, while lowercase maintains compact proportions and a relatively small x-height, producing an airy rhythm with tall ascenders and descenders. Figures follow the same calligraphic contrast and italic axis, reading as elegant but more display-oriented than utilitarian.
Well-suited to wedding collateral, event invitations, certificates, and formal announcements where a calligraphic voice is desired. It also works for boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and short headlines or pull quotes, especially when paired with a restrained serif or sans for supporting text.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonial, with a romantic, invitation-like sweetness. Its flowing loops and delicate hairlines evoke traditional etiquette stationery and classic correspondence, balancing sophistication with a touch of ornament.
Designed to emulate refined handwritten calligraphy in a consistent, typeset form, emphasizing graceful connections, elegant contrast, and decorative capitals for expressive display typography.
Contrast is high, so fine strokes can appear delicate at smaller sizes, while the strong vertical stress and narrow set make lines feel tidy and composed. The most decorative energy is concentrated in the capitals, which can become a focal point in initials and short headings.
