A slender, calligraphic roman with a consistent rightward slant and gently modulated stroke weight. Letterforms are built from smooth, pen-like curves with tapered terminals and frequent entry/exit strokes that curl into small loops or hooks. Caps feature prominent swashes and open counters, while the lowercase stays airy and compact with a notably low x-height and long, flowing ascenders and descenders. Spacing is visually light and rhythmic, and the numerals follow the same graceful, slightly ornate drawing.
Best suited to short display settings where its swashed capitals and delicate rhythm can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, packaging labels, book or chapter titles, and pull quotes. It can work for brief text lines, but the low x-height and narrow proportions favor larger sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, balancing formality with a playful, storybook charm. Its looping terminals and swashed capitals give it a romantic, old-world feel suited to decorative, personality-forward typography.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering in a clean, unconnected style, emphasizing graceful movement, decorative terminals, and expressive capitals for display-oriented typography.
Capital letters are the main display feature, with more dramatic curves and occasional inward curls that create a lively silhouette. The lowercase remains readable but prioritizes elegance over neutrality, and the figures echo the script-like movement rather than strict geometric construction.
