A delicate, calligraphic script with an italic forward slant and dramatic contrast between razor-thin hairlines and sharper, slightly heavier strokes. Letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with compact lowercase proportions and long, tapering ascenders and descenders. Terminals frequently finish in fine points and teardrop-like flicks, while capitals introduce generous entrance strokes and restrained swashes that add ornament without overwhelming spacing. Numerals and lowercase follow the same light, pen-like rhythm, with open counters and minimal stroke mass overall.
Best suited to display use where its fine hairlines and ornamental capitals can remain crisp—such as wedding stationery, invitations, boutique branding, packaging accents, and magazine-style headlines or pull quotes. It can work for short phrases and names in larger sizes, especially when paired with a restrained serif or sans for supporting text.
The tone is polished and intimate, evoking formal handwriting and classic invitation script. Its airy hairlines and flowing joins feel graceful and ceremonial, with a soft romantic character suited to premium, etiquette-forward settings.
Designed to emulate formal penmanship with a high-fashion, engraved feel: slender proportions, elegant loops, and controlled swash behavior that add flourish while keeping words readable at display sizes.
In text, the thin connecting strokes and tight internal spaces make the texture bright and shimmering, with pronounced rhythm from repeated loops and long joining strokes. The capitals are notably decorative compared to the lowercase, which remains simpler and more streamlined, helping set hierarchy in mixed-case compositions.
