An italic, calligraphic face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a brush-pen feel. Strokes taper into soft, teardrop-like terminals and occasional wedgey entries, giving letters a lively, handwritten cadence without connecting. Uppercase forms are more expansive and decorative, featuring gentle swashes and curved cross-strokes, while the lowercase is compact with a short x-height and strongly slanted bowls and stems. Counters stay open and rounded, and the overall texture alternates between bold downstrokes and fine hairlines for a crisp, high-contrast rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where its contrast and flourishes can be appreciated: invitations and event collateral, boutique branding, product packaging, certificates, and editorial headlines or pull quotes. It can work for short passages at generous sizes, but the lively stroke modulation and short x-height favor titles and highlight text over dense, small-size body copy.
The font conveys a traditional, ceremonial tone—graceful and slightly romantic—evoking formal invitations, classic correspondence, and old-world signage. Its flowing slant and tapered terminals add warmth and personality while maintaining a composed, polished presence.
The design appears intended to capture the look of formal pen lettering in a consistent, typographic system—balancing expressive swashes and brushlike tapering with clear, repeatable letterforms for refined display typography.
Capitals tend to carry the visual emphasis with broader curves and more pronounced flourishes, while lowercase shapes are simpler and more text-oriented but still distinctly calligraphic. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic and read as stylized rather than strictly utilitarian.
