A slanted calligraphic italic with crisp, high-contrast strokes and sharp, tapered terminals. The letterforms are narrow and vertically oriented, with flowing entry and exit strokes that create a continuous rhythm despite remaining unconnected. Capitals feature prominent swashes and looping gestures (notably in letters like Q, R, and G), while lowercase forms are compact with a restrained x-height and long, elegant extenders. Numerals follow the same delicate, pen-like construction with slight curvature and fine finishing strokes.
Best suited to display applications where its fine hairlines and decorative capitals can be appreciated—such as wedding suites, formal invitations, boutique branding, cosmetic or luxury packaging, and elegant headlines. It can work in short passages at larger sizes, but the delicate contrast and swashy details favor titles and highlight text over dense body copy.
The overall tone is formal and graceful, evoking engraved invitations, classical correspondence, and old-world refinement. Its swashes and thin hairlines add a romantic, ceremonial character that feels expressive without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to capture a formal calligraphic handwriting style with a polished, pen-drawn finish—prioritizing elegance, flourish, and a refined rhythm for statement-making typography.
Stroke modulation is consistent across the set, with thicker downstrokes and very fine hairlines that emphasize a pointed-pen feel. Spacing appears relatively open within the narrow forms, helping the script breathe in display settings, while the more elaborate capitals naturally draw attention as focal elements.
