A delicate, right-leaning calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a smooth, pen-like stroke rhythm. Letterforms are generally slender with tapered terminals and occasional entry/exit strokes that suggest a broad-nib or pointed-pen influence rather than a rigid geometric construction. Capitals show restrained swash tendencies (notably in letters like A, J, Q, and Y), while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively modest x-height and clean, open counters. Numerals follow the same italic calligraphic logic, with curving forms and tapered ends that harmonize with the alphabet.
Well-suited to invitations, certificates, and other formal stationery where an elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits editorial headlines, book and album covers, short pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic calligraphic personality.
The overall tone is formal and graceful, evoking traditional correspondence, poetry, and classic book typography. Its flowing movement and refined contrast lend a romantic, upscale feel without becoming overly ornate.
The font appears intended to capture a traditional calligraphic italic look with controlled flourishes, balancing expressive capitals with readable lowercase for short-to-medium text settings.
The design maintains consistent slant and modulation across letters and figures, creating an even texture in longer text while still giving capitals room for expressive flourishes. The sharper, more angled joins in letters like v, w, and x add crispness to the otherwise smooth, looping forms.
