A refined calligraphic roman with crisp hairlines, rounded swelling curves, and tapered stroke terminals that suggest a pointed-pen influence. Uppercase forms feature gentle swashes and occasional looped entry/exit strokes, while lowercase maintains a compact x-height with slender stems and soft, sculpted bowls. The rhythm is slightly irregular in a hand-drawn way, with subtle variations in curve tension and stroke endings that keep the texture lively rather than mechanical. Numerals follow the same delicate contrast and include curved tops and tapered feet, matching the overall ornamental voice.
Best used for invitations, announcements, and event collateral where a formal calligraphic impression is desired. It also works well for headlines, book or album titling, boutique branding, and certificate-style compositions, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the fine terminals and flourishes can remain clear.
The font conveys a formal, romantic tone—graceful and cultivated, with a lightly theatrical flourish. It feels suited to classic, literary, and celebratory contexts where elegance and personality are more important than strict typographic neutrality.
The design appears intended to evoke classical calligraphy in a clean, unconnected roman structure, combining pen-like contrast with decorative swashes for a poised display presence. It prioritizes elegance and expressive capitals while keeping the overall line of text orderly for short, set-piece typography.
Stroke endings often resolve into sharp beaks or teardrop-like flicks, creating a shimmering texture at larger sizes. The capitals read as display-forward due to their swash behavior, while the lowercase is comparatively restrained but still clearly calligraphic. Letterforms maintain a consistent slant-free posture, helping keep ornate shapes readable in short phrases.
