This script features a right-leaning, calligraphic construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Strokes are smooth and continuous with frequent entry/exit curls, and many capitals use generous swashes and looped forms that extend beyond the main body of the letters. The lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height, while ascenders and descenders run long, creating a tall, airy rhythm. Counters are generally open, joins are fluid, and the overall texture alternates between delicate hairlines and bold shaded downstrokes for a polished, engraved feel.
It is well suited to display use such as wedding suites, formal invitations, boutique branding, packaging, and editorial headlines where flourish and contrast can be appreciated. It works best at medium to large sizes and in short text runs where the swash capitals can shine without crowding.
The font conveys a refined, ceremonial tone—graceful and romantic, with a classic, old-world sophistication. Its prominent flourishes add a sense of glamour and formality, making it feel suited to special occasions and premium presentation.
The design appears intended to emulate a formal pen-script written with a flexible nib, emphasizing expressive capitals, high-contrast shading, and graceful connecting strokes to create a luxurious, traditional impression.
Capitals are the visual centerpiece, with dramatic swashes that can create lively word shapes but may require generous spacing and line height in multi-line settings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing shaded strokes with thin hairlines for a cohesive look.
