A formal script with an italic slant and pronounced thick–thin calligraphic contrast. Strokes taper into fine hairlines with smooth, pointed terminals, and many capitals feature extended entry/exit swashes and looped flourishes. Proportions are tall and airy with a very small x-height, long ascenders/descenders, and a variable rhythm that alternates compact joins with expansive curves. Letterforms appear mostly connected in text, creating a continuous, flowing baseline while maintaining crisp, high-contrast counters and a refined overall texture.
Best suited to display use where its hairlines and flourishes can be appreciated—wedding suites, invitations, certificates, luxury branding, beauty packaging, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short emphasis lines or nameplates, especially when generous spacing and margins are available.
The font reads as polished and ceremonial, with a poised, romantic tone suited to high-end or commemorative settings. Its sweeping capitals and delicate hairlines suggest formality and tradition, while the lively curves add a sense of charm and personality.
Designed to emulate refined pointed-pen lettering, prioritizing elegant stroke modulation, sweeping capitals, and a continuous script rhythm for elevated, formal typography.
Uppercase characters carry much of the drama, using generous swashes that can extend into surrounding space, which increases the sense of movement but may require extra room in tight layouts. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and slanted stance, keeping the set visually consistent with the letterforms.
