A slanted, calligraphic italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth, brush-like curves. Letterforms are built from flowing, continuous strokes with tapered terminals, occasional ball-like endings, and frequent entry/exit flourishes that add movement. Capitals are more elaborate and wider in footprint, with looped bowls and extended swashes, while lowercase stays comparatively compact with a short x-height and lively ascenders/descenders. Overall rhythm is energetic and slightly variable in spacing, emphasizing a handwritten, pen-driven feel.
Well suited to formal stationery such as invitations and announcements, as well as branding where an elegant script-like voice is desired. It performs best in headlines, pull quotes, logos, and short phrases where the high contrast and swashes can be appreciated; use more generous spacing for improved clarity.
The style reads as refined and ceremonial, with a confident, old-world elegance. Its high contrast and sweeping curves create a sense of drama and romance, making the text feel curated and special rather than everyday.
Designed to evoke traditional calligraphy in an italic, unconnected alphabet, balancing readable structures with decorative swashes for a polished display voice. The emphasis appears to be on expressive contrast and graceful motion rather than dense text setting.
The numerals follow the same italic calligraphic logic, with curved strokes and decorative terminals that match the letterforms. At larger sizes the internal counters and hairline connections become a key part of the texture; in longer passages the strong contrast and flourishes can create a busy color that favors display use.
