A delicate formal script with long, tapering entry and exit strokes and pronounced swash capitals. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and dramatic stroke modulation, with hairline-thin upstrokes and sharper, slightly heavier downstrokes. Uppercase glyphs are expansive and looping with extended ascenders and occasional cross-strokes that sweep outward, while lowercase forms are compact and tightly set with small counters and a restrained, pointed rhythm. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, leaning and lightly curved with fine terminals and minimal bulk.
Best suited for display typography where its fine hairlines and flourished capitals can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, upscale packaging, boutique branding, certificates, and short editorial headers. It can also work for brief pull quotes or name/monogram treatments when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels ceremonious and graceful, evoking traditional penmanship and engraved stationery. Its light touch and flowing motion read as romantic and upscale, with a poised, formal character suited to premium presentation.
Designed to emulate refined pointed-pen calligraphy with a formal, engraved sensibility, prioritizing expressive swashes and elegant rhythm over utilitarian text readability. The glyph set appears aimed at creating luxurious, traditional compositions with a strong emphasis on graceful movement and ornament.
Swashes are a defining feature: many capitals and select lowercase letters carry long leftward and rightward flourishes that increase horizontal footprint and create an ornamental texture in lines of text. At smaller sizes the hairlines and tight internal spaces may visually soften, while at display sizes the contrast and curves become the main attraction.
