A delicate calligraphic italic with hairline-thin entry/exit strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are broadly set with generous sidebearings and a smooth, continuous diagonal slant. Strokes end in tapered, pen-like terminals, with occasional swash-like curves and extended cross-strokes that add flourish without connecting letters. Counters are open and airy, and the overall texture stays light and crisp, relying on contrast and rhythm rather than mass.
Best suited to display settings such as invitations, event collateral, boutique branding, luxury packaging, and fashion or lifestyle editorial headlines. It performs well where ample whitespace and larger sizes can showcase its contrast and swash-like motion, and where a sophisticated handwritten impression is desired.
The font conveys a formal, poetic tone—graceful and upscale, with a sense of ceremony and tradition. Its flowing curves and fine strokes suggest handwritten refinement, suitable for moments that call for a personal yet polished voice.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen calligraphy in a clean, consistent digital form—prioritizing graceful movement, expressive capitals, and a polished, upscale texture for statement typography.
Capitals are particularly expressive, with sweeping curves and long, thin finishing strokes that create a prominent headline presence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, remaining slender and stylish rather than strictly utilitarian. In longer text the airy spacing and slender strokes emphasize elegance, while flourished forms can become visually prominent at small sizes or in dense settings.
