A formal handwritten script with tall, condensed proportions and pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes show strong calligraphic contrast: slim hairlines lead into heavier downstrokes, with smooth, rounded joins and occasional tapered terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with generous ascenders and descenders, and many capitals feature restrained flourishes and looped entry strokes. Spacing feels tight and columnar, while the thin connective strokes keep the texture light despite the darker vertical stems.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its high-contrast strokes and decorative capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, event stationery, beauty or lifestyle branding, packaging, and headline treatments. It can also work for pull quotes or short phrases, especially when set with comfortable line spacing to accommodate the long ascenders and descenders.
The overall tone is elegant and slightly playful, combining a dressy calligraphy feel with a gentle, whimsical bounce. Its looping capitals and delicate hairlines suggest a romantic, boutique sensibility rather than a strictly formal engraving style.
Designed to evoke a hand-lettered, calligraphic look with a polished finish, emphasizing tall proportions, elegant contrast, and looped capitals for visual personality in display typography.
Uppercase characters tend to be more decorative than the lowercase, introducing loops and occasional asymmetrical swashes that draw attention at word starts. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast model, with slim top strokes and heavier verticals that reinforce the font’s tall, refined silhouette.
