A delicate, slanted calligraphic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and hairline terminals. Capitals feature generous entry and exit swashes, looping bowls, and tapered curves that echo pointed-pen writing, while the lowercase is comparatively restrained with narrow, upright-ish stems, crisp serifs, and a compact x-height. Counters are clean and open, spacing feels airy, and the overall rhythm alternates between thin connecting strokes and thicker downstrokes for a polished, engraved look. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and include subtle curls and tapered endings.
Well-suited for wedding and event stationery, formal invitations, luxury branding, and boutique packaging where expressive capitals can shine. It also works effectively for certificates, editorial headlines, and short pull quotes, especially when set large to preserve the fine details.
The font conveys a poised, ceremonial tone—graceful and romantic rather than casual. Its sweeping capitals add a sense of invitation and luxury, suggesting tradition, etiquette, and special-occasion sophistication.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pointed-pen calligraphy in a typographic system: expressive swash capitals paired with a more readable, traditional lowercase. The aim is a refined display face that signals elegance and occasion through contrast, flourish, and controlled rhythm.
The strongest personality comes from the uppercase set, where long ascenders, looped terminals, and prominent swashes create a decorative headline presence. In continuous text, the low x-height and fine hairlines give a light, airy color that benefits from generous sizes and comfortable line spacing.
