A delicate formal script with steep rightward slant, hairline entry strokes, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with frequent loops and long, tapering terminals; capitals are notably ornate with generous swashes and open counters. Lowercase forms stay compact in the middle zone while relying on extended ascenders/descenders for rhythm, and spacing feels airy due to the fine strokes and narrow joins.
Best used at display sizes where the fine hairlines and swashes can render cleanly, such as wedding suites, event stationery, beauty or boutique branding, and premium packaging. It works well for short phrases, names, and headings where the expressive capitals can be a focal point.
The overall tone is graceful and ceremonial, suggesting classic penmanship and special-occasion polish. Its looping capitals and refined contrast give it a romantic, vintage-leaning sophistication suited to elevated branding and invitations.
Designed to emulate refined, pen-written calligraphy with an emphasis on elegant contrast and decorative capital forms. The intent appears to prioritize a graceful, formal presence and expressive flourishes over utilitarian body-text readability.
Capitals vary widely in footprint, with several featuring large leading swashes that can dominate a line. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved forms and light, tapered finishes that align with the script’s delicate texture.
