A delicate formal script with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a consistent forward slant. Strokes are hairline-fine in exits and entry strokes, expanding into smooth, tapered downstrokes that create a lively calligraphic rhythm. Letterforms are tall and narrow with generous ascenders and descenders, while the lowercase maintains a notably small body relative to the capitals, emphasizing verticality. Terminals often finish in fine hooks and soft curls, and many capitals use restrained swashes and looping entry strokes that add flourish without becoming overly ornate.
This font performs best in short-to-medium display settings where its fine hairlines and swashes have room to breathe—such as invitations, save-the-dates, greeting cards, boutique branding, packaging accents, and elegant headlines. It can also work for pull quotes or signature-style lockups when set with ample size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and intimate—suited to ceremonial and personal messaging. Its lightness and flowing motion feel graceful and romantic, with a classic, pen-written sensibility that reads as upscale and carefully composed.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pointed-pen lettering: tall, slender proportions, dramatic contrast, and controlled flourishes that add sophistication while preserving readability in display use. It prioritizes elegance and motion over utilitarian text performance, aiming for a refined handwritten impression.
Capitals are especially expressive, with broad, sweeping forms that can dominate a line and set a formal headline character. The numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, keeping contrast and curvature consistent, and the open counters and fine join points contribute to an airy, delicate texture in longer phrases.
