A formal, calligraphy-driven script with slender hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms are strongly right-slanted with long, tapered entry and exit strokes, and frequent swash-like terminals. Capitals are prominent and decorative, built from looping strokes and extended curves that create a graceful top-line rhythm. Lowercase is compact with a very small x-height relative to tall ascenders/descenders, producing an airy, vertical texture; counters stay open but fine details remain delicate. Numerals follow the same engraved, italic cadence with tapered ends and a slightly varying set width.
Well suited to wedding suites, formal invitations, luxury branding, fragrance and beauty packaging, certificates, and other premium display applications where flourish and contrast are an asset. It can also work for short headlines or pull quotes when set large, but its delicate details make it less ideal for dense text or small-size UI use.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonial, evoking invitation lettering and classic penmanship. Its flowing curves and restrained delicacy feel romantic and upscale, with a touch of old-world refinement.
The design appears intended to emulate refined pointed-pen lettering with an engraved, high-contrast finish, prioritizing grace, flourish, and a formal handwritten impression over utilitarian readability.
Stroke endings are consistently pointed and brush-like, giving the font a crisp, crafted finish. Spacing appears tight and the thin joins and hairlines suggest it will look best when given breathing room and used at comfortable display sizes.
