A delicate serif with hairline horizontals and pronounced thick–thin modulation, combining crisp, tapered terminals with small, sharp serifs. Capitals feature prominent entry swashes and looped flourishes that extend leftward, while the core letterforms remain fairly upright and structured. Lowercase is comparatively restrained and text-like, with narrow stems, compact bowls, and a clean rhythm that contrasts with the more decorative capitals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, finely tapered construction, maintaining an overall light, airy color on the page.
Well-suited to wedding suites, formal invitations, and upscale event materials where decorative capitals can take center stage. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, short pull quotes, and boutique branding that benefits from a refined, classic voice, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and swashes can breathe.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonious, with a distinctly romantic, invitation-like flair. The swashed capitals add a sense of luxury and tradition, while the restrained lowercase keeps longer phrases feeling composed rather than overly ornamental.
The font appears intended to merge a classic high-contrast serif foundation with calligraphic, swashed capitals for decorative display use. Its mixed-case behavior suggests a goal of providing flourish for initials and titles while preserving readable, traditional forms for the remainder of the text.
The design’s personality is driven largely by its capitals: many letters include consistent leftward curls that create a signature silhouette in titling. In mixed-case settings, the contrast between ornate capitals and simpler lowercase becomes a defining stylistic feature, producing a classic headline feel without making body text appear overly embellished.
