A delicate calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Letterforms are moderately condensed with a consistent rightward slant and a flowing, pen-driven rhythm. Capitals feature generous loops and entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms stay relatively compact with a short x-height and long, expressive ascenders and descenders. Numerals and punctuation echo the same sharp, pointed finishing strokes and high-contrast construction.
Best suited for invitations, wedding collateral, certificates, and other formal stationery where flourish is a feature. It also works well for short headlines, logos, and luxury-leaning branding where the dramatic capitals can be used intentionally. For body copy, it is likely to perform best in brief passages at comfortable sizes with ample line spacing.
The overall tone is graceful and ceremonial, evoking traditional handwriting used for formal announcements and personal correspondence. Its swashes and slender curves feel romantic and polished, with a distinctly classic, old-world sophistication.
Designed to emulate formal penmanship with strong contrast and decorative capitals, prioritizing elegance and expressive movement over utilitarian readability. The consistent italic slant and tapered strokes suggest an aim toward classic calligraphic display use in refined, celebratory contexts.
Swashiness is most prominent in the capitals, which can dominate a line and create dramatic word shapes at larger sizes. In longer text, the combination of narrow proportions and high contrast can make spacing and letter differentiation feel more delicate, especially around similarly shaped italic forms.
