A delicate calligraphic italic with hairline-thin strokes, sharp entry/exit terminals, and pronounced contrast between thickened diagonals and fine connecting strokes. Letterforms are strongly slanted with long, tapered ascenders and descenders, and many glyphs feature subtle swashes and hooked terminals that add movement without connecting into a script. Counters are narrow and oval, spacing feels airy, and the overall rhythm is lively due to varied stroke endings and slightly irregular, pen-like modulation.
Best suited for display settings such as wedding suites, formal invitations, certificates, book or film titles, luxury branding, and short quotations. It performs especially well at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine hairlines and nuanced terminals can print or render cleanly.
The tone is graceful and ceremonial, evoking invitations, classical poetry, and refined stationery. Its flowing slant and flicked terminals create a romantic, expressive voice that reads as upscale and traditional rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to mimic formal pen lettering with controlled contrast and tasteful flourishes, offering a refined italic voice for elevated, occasion-driven typography. It prioritizes elegance and expressive stroke endings over dense text ergonomics.
Uppercase forms lean toward decorative capitals with extended strokes and occasional looped details, while lowercase remains compact with a noticeably small x-height relative to tall ascenders. Numerals follow the same italic calligraphic logic, with slender construction and elegant curves that prioritize style over at-a-glance clarity at small sizes.
