A slanted calligraphic script with light strokes and moderate thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are open and rounded with long, tapering entry and exit strokes that create gentle swashes, especially in capitals. Stems and bowls lean consistently, with smooth curves and slightly pointed terminals that suggest a pen-driven construction. Uppercase characters are more decorative and expansive, while lowercase forms stay relatively simple and readable, with looped ascenders/descenders and clean counters.
Well-suited to invitations, announcements, and greeting cards where an elegant handwritten impression is desired. It can also serve for boutique branding, packaging accents, and short headlines or pull quotes. For longer passages, generous size and line spacing help preserve clarity and keep the delicate strokes from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is formal and graceful, evoking traditional correspondence and polished, humanist calligraphy. Its soft curves and restrained flourishes feel romantic and cordial rather than flashy, lending a composed, upscale voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, pen-written look with enough consistency for typographic use, balancing readable lowercase forms with expressive, swashier capitals for emphasis and display.
Capitals show distinctive, sweeping cross-strokes and curved spines, creating strong initial-letter presence in titles. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm and share the same tapered terminals, keeping a cohesive texture in mixed text. The spacing and proportions produce an airy, lightly textured line that reads best when given room to breathe.
