A delicate, slanted script with hairline strokes and moderate thick–thin modulation that reads like pen-written calligraphy. The letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, producing a light, vertical rhythm and ample white space between strokes. Terminals are tapered and often extended into long entry/exit strokes, with occasional looped bowls and gentle swashes. Spacing feels open and the overall texture stays consistently fine and graceful, while capitals show the most flourish.
Well-suited to short display text such as invitations, wedding stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, and signature-style logotypes. It performs best at larger sizes or in high-contrast printing where the fine strokes remain visible; for longer passages, generous tracking and leading help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is formal and poetic, evoking handwritten invitations and personal correspondence. Its thin strokes and elongated forms suggest a quiet, luxurious mood—more ceremonial than casual—while the flowing joins keep it warm and human.
Designed to capture the look of an elegant handwritten hand with a calligraphic slant, prioritizing graceful motion, tall proportions, and refined entry/exit strokes. The emphasis appears to be on expressive capitals and a light, airy page color for upscale presentation.
Capitals are highly calligraphic and can occupy extra horizontal space due to extended lead-in strokes, which can influence line starts and display settings. Numerals follow the same slender, cursive construction and appear best when given breathing room rather than set tightly.
