A formal calligraphic serif with slender proportions and crisp, high-contrast strokes. Curves are drawn with a pen-like logic: fine hairlines, fuller main strokes, and pointed terminals that often finish in soft wedges or subtle hooks. Capitals are the main showpiece, featuring distinctive swashes and occasional looped or teardrop-like counters, while lowercase keeps a narrower, more upright rhythm with gentle entry/exit strokes and compact bowls. The overall texture is light and airy, with tight sidebearings and a consistent, refined cadence across text.
Well-suited to headlines, titles, pull quotes, and short passages where an elegant calligraphic voice is desired. It can add a refined, vintage character to invitations, boutique branding, and packaging, especially when paired with a simpler companion for body copy.
The font reads as poised and storybook-like, mixing classical refinement with a hint of playful flourish. Its decorative capitals and delicate stroke endings suggest a ceremonial, literary tone rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to evoke pen-drawn, formal lettering with a curated set of expressive capitals, delivering a classic yet slightly whimsical presence for display typography.
The contrast and fine details make the design feel best at display sizes, where the tapered hairlines and swashed forms can remain clear. In running text, the narrow set and prominent capital forms create a distinctive, rhythmic color that leans ornamental.
