A delicate formal script with long, sweeping entry and exit strokes and prominent swash capitals. Letterforms are strongly slanted with a hairline-to-stroke contrast that reads like a pointed-pen model, producing crisp thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Capitals feature extended loops and high-reaching ascenders, while the lowercase is compact with small counters and minimal internal weight, creating a light, floating rhythm. Numerals are similarly slender and curvilinear, matching the script’s looping cadence and thin joins.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the swashes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, event collateral, boutique branding, beauty or fragrance packaging, and editorial or display headlines. It can also work for monograms and initials where ornate capitals are desired.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, conveying a classic, romantic sensibility. Its fine strokes and generous flourishes suggest formality and celebration, with a graceful, old-world charm suited to elevated presentation.
Designed to emulate a refined calligraphic hand with pronounced flourish, prioritizing elegance and expressive motion over utilitarian text economy. The consistent thin joins and dramatic capitals indicate an intent for display-oriented typography that feels ceremonial and premium.
The design relies on spacing and stroke finesse rather than mass, so it reads best when given room to breathe. The most decorative characters (notably several capitals) introduce pronounced horizontal motion, which can dominate a line if used frequently or at tight tracking.
