A slanted, calligraphy-driven italic with sharp thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Strokes show a pen-like expansion pattern, producing crisp hairlines, weighty downstrokes, and pointed entry/exit strokes. Letterforms are generally unconnected but share a consistent rightward rhythm, with occasional swash-like tails and curled terminals in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions lean toward a short x-height with relatively tall ascenders/descenders, and figures follow the same high-contrast, italic construction with lively diagonals and tapered ends.
Best suited for display typography such as invitations, wedding materials, luxury or boutique branding, packaging accents, and headline or pull-quote settings where contrast and flourish can be appreciated. It can also work for short formal passages when set large with comfortable spacing and clean reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and ceremonial, suggesting formality and occasion. Its sweeping curves and crisp contrast add a romantic, slightly theatrical flavor that reads as classic and upscale rather than casual.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pen lettering in a typographic, repeatable form—prioritizing graceful movement, high contrast, and a refined italic cadence for prominent, decorative use.
Capital letters are especially expressive, with broad, sculpted curves and pronounced stroke endings that create strong word-shape in display settings. At smaller sizes the fine hairlines and tight interior counters may require careful use on high-resolution output or generous tracking for clarity.
