A calligraphic script with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that mimic a flexible pen or pointed brush. Letterforms are strongly right-leaning with narrow, vertical proportions and lively, sweeping entry/exit strokes, especially in capitals. Strokes often end in sharp points or small teardrop joins, and curves are built from energetic, slightly angular transitions that keep the rhythm crisp. Lowercase forms sit low on the baseline with compact counters and frequent looped ascenders/descenders, while numerals share the same flowing, stroke-driven construction.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings such as wedding materials, certificates, boutique branding, labels, and editorial headlines where its swashy capitals can set the tone. It can also work for pull quotes or short phrases when given enough space to avoid collisions between flourishes.
The overall tone is formal and expressive, mixing vintage calligraphy with a slightly dramatic, storybook flair. Its swashes and contrast lend a sense of ceremony and charm, making the text feel personal and crafted rather than mechanical.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen-calligraphy with strong contrast and decorative capitals, prioritizing elegance and expressive movement over plain text efficiency. Its narrow proportions and emphatic terminals suggest a focus on creating stylish, space-efficient headings with a handcrafted signature-like character.
Capitals feature conspicuous flourishes and long, arcing top strokes that can extend into surrounding space, creating a decorative texture in headings. In longer text the lively stroke endings and compact internal spaces produce a dense, rhythmic pattern that reads best with generous tracking and line spacing.
