A flowing, slanted calligraphic italic with crisp thick–thin modulation and smooth, pen-like curves. Capitals are generously sized and often include entry/exit swashes and looped terminals, creating a decorative silhouette without connecting strokes. Lowercase forms are compact with a relatively small x-height, narrow counters, and tapered joins that keep the texture lively and slightly varied. Figures follow the same italic rhythm, mixing open curves with subtle spur-like details for a cohesive, written feel.
Well suited to formal stationery such as invitations, announcements, and certificates, as well as short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and elegant branding. It performs especially well for titles and display-sized text where the capitals’ swashes and the stroke contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is graceful and traditional, suggesting ceremony and care. Its swashes and contrast lend a sense of luxury and romance, while the consistent italic rhythm keeps it poised rather than playful.
The letterforms appear intended to evoke a traditional hand-written script translated into a consistent type system, balancing ornamental capitals with readable, unconnected lowercase. The emphasis on contrast and expressive terminals suggests a focus on refined display typography rather than dense text setting.
The design reads best when given room: extended terminals and looping capitals can become crowded in tight settings. In longer lines, the strong diagonal stress and compact lowercase create a bright, airy texture with pronounced word shapes.
