A delicate, right-leaning script with dramatic thick–thin modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are built from smooth, continuous curves with long ascenders and descenders, frequent loops, and occasional extended terminals that create a lively baseline flow. Capitals are more ornamental and expansive than the lowercase, with prominent swashes and open counters that add display presence. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender hairlines, rounded turns, and elegant, slightly varied widths.
Well suited to short, prominent text such as invitations, wedding stationery, greeting cards, boutique branding, beauty and fragrance packaging, and editorial headlines. It works best when given room for its swashes and descenders, and when used at sizes where the thin hairlines remain visible.
The overall tone is polished and expressive, evoking formal invitations, personal correspondence, and classic penmanship. Its flowing rhythm and airy hairlines feel romantic and luxurious, while the confident contrasts and sweeping capitals add a sense of ceremony.
Designed to capture the look of formal, pen-written calligraphy with a refined contrast and expressive flourishes. The emphasis on decorative capitals and flowing connections suggests an intention toward display typography that conveys elegance and occasion.
Stroke joins are smooth and fluid, with a consistent calligraphic angle and a pronounced interplay between fine hairlines and heavier downstrokes. Spacing appears intentionally tight in places, emphasizing connected motion; the more elaborate capitals and long extenders can create striking word shapes but also demand generous line spacing.
