A formal, calligraphic script with a pronounced rightward slant, hairline entry strokes, and dramatic thick–thin modulation. Letterforms are narrow and vertically stretched, with long ascenders/descenders and small, compact lowercase bodies that emphasize the baseline rhythm. Curves are smooth and continuous, and many capitals feature restrained swashes and looped terminals; counters tend to be small and teardrop-like, reinforcing a precise, pen-written feel. Spacing is tight and the texture is crisp, with strong contrast making thin strokes particularly fine at smaller sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its contrast and flourish can be appreciated—wedding suites, event stationery, luxury branding, certificates, and editorial display lines. It can also work for names, monograms, and pull quotes when given generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is graceful and ceremonial, evoking invitations, formal correspondence, and classic etiquette. Its delicate hairlines and swashed capitals add a romantic, old-world polish, while the narrow proportions keep it poised rather than exuberant.
The design appears intended to emulate a pointed-pen, copperplate-inspired hand with controlled elegance: narrow, upright-leaning construction, crisp contrast, and decorative capitals for a premium, formal presentation.
Capitals are notably decorative and taller than the lowercase, creating clear hierarchy for initials and headings. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender forms and occasional curled terminals that blend with the script aesthetic.
