A decorative, calligraphic display face with clean, mostly even strokes and a gently modulated feel created by flared terminals and curved entry/exit strokes. Uppercase forms feature prominent swashes—especially on letters like A, B, D, G, Q, R, and Y—often using hooked or teardrop-like terminals that lend a pen-drawn rhythm without connecting strokes. Lowercase stays comparatively simple and readable, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and occasional subtle calligraphic cues (notably in letters like f, j, and y). Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the soft, rounded terminal treatment and maintaining an even texture in running text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where swashed capitals can lead—titles, headings, pull quotes, invitations, labels, and brand marks. In longer passages it remains readable thanks to the simpler lowercase, but it will feel most distinctive when used with generous spacing and selective capitalization to showcase the flourishes.
The overall tone is refined but playful: it evokes classic book typography, invitations, and boutique branding rather than strict formality. The swashed capitals add a sense of ceremony and charm, while the restrained lowercase keeps the voice approachable and clear.
Designed to blend classic calligraphic flair with practical readability: expressive uppercase forms deliver personality and a crafted feel, while the lowercase and figures maintain a steady, approachable text color. The result is a versatile decorative face aimed at elegant, slightly whimsical display typography.
Capital-to-lowercase contrast is a defining feature: the uppercase alphabet carries most of the personality through flourished terminals and occasional asymmetry, whereas the lowercase is calmer and more utilitarian. Curves are smooth and continuous, with a consistent baseline and a slightly handwritten cadence that becomes most apparent in initial caps and word starts.
