A formal calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to fine hairlines with rounded, ink-like terminals, while heavier downstrokes create a gently shaded look. Letterforms are tall and narrow with a modest baseline bounce and frequent entry/exit strokes; many capitals feature extended loops and swashes. Spacing is compact and the overall rhythm feels continuous even when letters are not fully connected in every instance.
Best suited to display typography where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, product packaging, and short headlines. It can work in brief subheads or pull quotes, but the narrow proportions and flourished forms favor larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The tone is graceful and decorative, balancing classic penmanship with a slightly playful flourish. It reads as polished and celebratory rather than casual, with a boutique, invitation-ready feel.
Designed to evoke traditional pointed-pen lettering in a clean digital form, emphasizing elegant capitals, tapered hairlines, and a flowing handwritten cadence for decorative, premium-facing communication.
Capitals are notably more expressive than the lowercase, with several forms using long ascenders, curled arms, and looped bowls that can dominate a line in short words. The numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and include occasional curled terminals, helping them match in display settings.
