A delicate, slanted calligraphic italic with hairline entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are compact and upright in posture despite the italic angle, with tight internal counters and a relatively small lowercase body compared to the tall ascenders and descenders. Strokes taper into sharp terminals, and many capitals use restrained swashes and looped entry/exit forms that create a flowing, continuous rhythm without connecting letters. Overall spacing reads on the tight side, reinforcing a polished, formal texture in words and lines of text.
This font is best suited to display typography where its fine hairlines and swashed capitals can be appreciated—wedding stationery, formal invitations, boutique logos, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short headings or pull quotes, especially at larger sizes and with generous line spacing to keep the texture from feeling crowded.
The style feels formal and refined, evoking engraved invitations, classic correspondence, and boutique luxury branding. Its lightness and crisp terminals give it an airy, graceful tone, while the swashed capitals add a touch of romance and ceremony.
The design appears intended to mimic formal pen calligraphy in a controlled, typeset form—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and ornamental capitals over neutrality. Its proportions and delicate stroke weight suggest it was drawn for refined display use rather than dense, small-size reading.
Capitals are notably expressive and taller relative to the lowercase, so titles can look more decorative than body copy. The figures follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender forms and tapered ends that harmonize with the letterforms in display settings.
