A delicate, flowing script with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are built from slender hairlines and tapered curves, with frequent entry/exit strokes that extend into soft swashes, especially in capitals. Proportions feel tall and airy, with a relatively small x-height and long ascenders/descenders that create an open vertical rhythm. Spacing is moderately loose for a script, helping the flourishes remain legible while preserving a light, graceful texture.
Best suited for display use where its thin hairlines and swashes can breathe—wedding suites, invitations, certificates, boutique branding, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging accents, but will be less effective for long body text or small sizes due to the fine strokes and high contrast.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonial, evoking classic penmanship and formal stationery. Its fine strokes and generous curves read as romantic and sophisticated, with a gentle, ornamental flourish rather than a casual handwritten feel.
Designed to emulate formal calligraphy with a light touch: high-contrast strokes, elegant italic movement, and decorative capitals intended to elevate names, titles, and ceremonial messaging.
Capitals carry the strongest personality, using looping terminals and broad curves that work well as initials or in short words. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curled terminals and a refined, old-style feel that suits display settings more than dense tables.
