A delicate calligraphic roman with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, tapered terminals that often finish in fine hairlines. The letterforms are upright with slightly lively, hand-guided curves and subtle asymmetry, giving the shapes a drawn rather than strictly constructed feel. Proportions lean narrow-to-moderate with open counters and long, graceful curves; several capitals show gently flared strokes and understated wedge-like serifs. Spacing reads even and text-friendly, while the thin strokes and sharp joins keep the overall color light on the page.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its fine contrast can remain clear—editorial headlines, book titles, pull quotes, and refined brand marks. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations and programs, especially when printed at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The font conveys a poised, literary elegance—formal without feeling rigid. Its airy contrast and pen-like endings suggest invitation, ceremony, and a quiet sense of tradition, with just enough movement to feel personal and crafted.
The design appears intended to capture a formal, pen-influenced elegance in an upright, readable roman, balancing traditional proportions with subtle handwritten liveliness. It prioritizes graceful rhythm and high-contrast finesse to achieve a refined, cultured tone.
Curved letters (C, G, O, Q, S) emphasize smooth, continuous strokes with fine entry/exit hairlines, and the numerals echo the same refined contrast and tapering. The design keeps ornament restrained, relying more on rhythm and terminal finesse than on overt flourishes.
