A delicate calligraphic italic with flowing, softly modulated strokes and tapered terminals. Letterforms show generous curvature and occasional entry/exit swashes, especially in capitals, creating a lively rhythm without connecting characters. Proportions lean toward a smaller x-height with relatively tall ascenders and descenders, while spacing feels airy and slightly varied, reinforcing a handwritten, pen-drawn cadence. Numerals are slender and slanted, matching the script-like tone rather than a rigid, typographic set.
Best suited for invitations, announcements, and event materials where elegance is the primary goal. It also works well for boutique branding, packaging accents, and short headlines or pull quotes where the swashy capitals can lead the composition. For longer passages, it will read more comfortably at larger sizes with ample line spacing.
The font conveys a polished, courtly charm—graceful and slightly romantic, with an old-world formality. Its gentle motion and ornamental capitals give it a ceremonial feel suited to expressive, upscale messaging.
Designed to emulate formal pen lettering in an italic calligraphic style, balancing readability with tasteful flourish. The aim appears to be a graceful display face with decorative capitals and a consistent handwritten rhythm for premium, occasion-driven typography.
Capitals are the most decorative, featuring loops and extended strokes that can become prominent in short words and initials. The overall texture stays light and refined, but the flourishes add visual emphasis that benefits from comfortable letterspacing and moderate sizes.
