A formal script with a rightward slant, smooth looping forms, and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Letterforms show clear thick–thin modulation, with rounded terminals and frequent swashes on capitals and select lowercase. The rhythm is flowing and slightly bouncy, mixing connected-script expectations with occasional breaks and display-oriented shapes. Uppercase characters are ornate and wide with generous curves, while the lowercase is compact with tall ascenders, deep descenders, and a relatively small x-height that emphasizes the vertical motion.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its swashes and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, event collateral, boutique branding, packaging labels, and editorial headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or title treatments when given ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, combining a classic, old-world charm with a light, personable warmth. Decorative capitals and soft curves lend a romantic, celebratory feel, while the steady stroke control keeps it refined rather than playful.
Designed to evoke traditional calligraphy in a clean digital form, prioritizing graceful movement, decorative capitals, and an elevated, celebratory voice. The letterforms aim for readability in words while still delivering a distinctly ornamental, signature-like presence.
Capitals are the main visual feature, using prominent loops and extended terminals that create strong word-shape signatures. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with curved spines and a slightly ornamental stance that suits display settings more than dense tables.
