A slanted calligraphic script with crisp, tapered strokes and modest thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are unconnected but rhythmically consistent, with generous entry/exit curves, occasional spiral terminals, and prominent swashes on many capitals. The lowercase is narrow and tall with a notably small x-height and long extenders, giving words a high-contrast silhouette. Curves are smooth and brush-like, while counters stay open enough to keep the ornamentation from collapsing at display sizes.
Best suited to short display text where the swashes can shine—wedding materials, invitations, greeting cards, boutique branding, and editorial headlines. It can work for pull quotes or short phrases, but the very small x-height and decorative capitals make it less practical for dense body copy or small UI sizes.
The overall tone is graceful and decorative, leaning toward a romantic, slightly playful feel thanks to the curled terminals and occasional spiral details. It evokes invitation-style formality while staying light and airy rather than heavy or solemn.
Designed to provide a formal, calligraphy-inspired voice with decorative capitals and lively terminals, aiming for a polished handwritten look that feels celebratory and premium in display contexts.
Capitals carry most of the personality, with large loops and flourish-heavy constructions that create strong word-initial emphasis. Numerals follow the same slanted, handwritten logic and include a few distinctive forms (notably curled terminals), reinforcing a cohesive, ornamental texture across mixed-case settings.
