A calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a right-leaning, flowing cursive structure. Strokes taper to sharp hairlines and finish in long, sweeping entry and exit swashes, especially on capitals. Letterforms show narrow internal counters, teardrop-like terminals, and a rhythmic, pen-written construction; many lowercase characters connect smoothly while still maintaining distinct, slightly variable widths. Capitals are large and decorative with extended flourishes, while the lowercase has compact bodies and lively ascenders/descenders that create an airy, elegant texture in text.
Well suited to wedding suites, invitations, certificates, and upscale editorial headlines where expressive capitals can shine. It can also support boutique branding and packaging, particularly for beauty, fashion, or artisanal goods, when used in short phrases or display settings.
The font conveys a polished, ceremonial tone with a romantic, classic sensibility. Its high-ornament capitals and delicate hairlines suggest luxury and tradition, lending a sense of formality and special-occasion refinement rather than casual handwriting.
The letterforms appear designed to emulate formal pen calligraphy in a consistent digital script, prioritizing graceful movement, decorative capitals, and dramatic stroke contrast for display-oriented typography.
The design relies on fine hairlines and tight joins, so it reads best when given generous size and spacing. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slanted forms and occasional swash-like curves that visually align with the letters.
