A formal script with a pronounced rightward slant and sweeping entry/exit strokes. Letterforms show crisp thick–thin modulation, with hairline connectors and fuller downstrokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Ascenders and descenders are long and curving, often finishing in tapered hooks or soft loops, while counters remain open and rounded. Capitals are more ornate and gestural, with extended swashes and occasional crossover strokes that lend a signature-like presence.
This typeface suits short-to-medium display settings where elegance is the goal—wedding stationery, boutique branding, beauty and lifestyle packaging, and editorial headlines. It’s especially effective for names, titles, and featured phrases where the capitals and long extenders can breathe.
The overall tone is polished and graceful, evoking invitations, fashion packaging, and classic handwritten correspondence. Its light touch and flowing movement feel romantic and elevated rather than casual or playful.
Designed to mimic pointed-pen calligraphy in a controlled, repeatable script, emphasizing graceful contrast, flowing joins, and decorative capitals for upscale display typography.
Connectivity is implied through consistent joining strokes and aligned angles, but forms remain readable thanks to clear internal spacing and restrained ornament on most lowercase. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender terminals and smooth curves that harmonize with the letters.
