A slanted, calligraphic roman with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Strokes feel brush-driven, with pointed entry/exit cuts and occasional wedge-like serif hints, while capitals feature generous swashes and looping joins that create a lively, ribbon-like silhouette. Lowercase forms are compact with a relatively small x-height and brisk ascenders/descenders; counters are often teardrop-shaped, and bowls lean oval, reinforcing the italic rhythm. Overall spacing reads moderately tight, with letterforms that vary in footprint and create a dynamic, handwritten cadence across words.
It performs best in display settings where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, wedding or event invitations, certificates, book or chapter titles, and boutique branding. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous line spacing help preserve clarity and prevent flourishes from crowding adjacent letters.
The font conveys a traditional, ceremonial tone—elegant and slightly dramatic—like formal handwriting used for titles and announcements. Its sweeping capitals and rhythmic contrast add a sense of craft and old-world charm, making text feel curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to mimic formal pen or brush lettering with a strong italic flow, emphasizing expressive capitals and high-contrast stroke behavior for refined, decorative typography.
Capitals are the main display feature, with long initial strokes and flourish-heavy constructions that can dominate a line. Numerals follow the same italic calligraphic logic, with curved strokes and sharp finishing flicks that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
