A formal script with slender, sharply tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, handwritten rhythm, combining compact bodies with long ascenders/descenders and frequent entry/exit strokes. Capitals are especially decorative, featuring generous loops and curved terminals, while lowercase forms are simpler but still show rounded joins, teardrop-like counters, and occasional extended tails. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, using narrow forms and curved terminals that match the alphabet.
Well-suited for wedding suites, event stationery, certificates, greeting cards, and boutique branding where an elegant, handwritten signature feel is desired. It performs best in short headlines, names, and pull quotes where the ornamental capitals and looping terminals have room to breathe.
The overall tone feels graceful and celebratory, with a romantic, invitation-like polish. Its flowing curves and ornamental capitals add a touch of charm and old-world formality, while the lively stroke modulation keeps it expressive rather than rigid.
Designed to emulate pointed-pen calligraphy with refined contrast and tasteful flourishes, prioritizing elegance and personality in display settings. The set balances ornate uppercase forms with more restrained lowercase shapes to support readable, flowing word images while retaining a formal script character.
Stroke endings often finish in fine hairlines with small hooks or curls, and several letters include swash-like extensions that can increase horizontal spacing needs in tight layouts. The texture on the page is airy and high-contrast, producing a sparkling, dressy color at display sizes.
