A formal, flowing script with a consistent rightward slant and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes behave like a pointed-pen hand: firm, weighty downstrokes paired with hairline upstrokes, with smooth joins and tapered terminals. Letterforms are compact and relatively narrow with lively, variable internal spacing, and many capitals include restrained swashes and looped entry/exit strokes. The lowercase shows a very small x-height relative to tall ascenders, with rounded bowls and occasional open counters that keep the texture light despite the contrast.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings such as wedding suites, event stationery, beauty and lifestyle branding, packaging, and elegant pull quotes. It can also work for subheads when generous tracking and leading are used to preserve the airy, scripted rhythm.
The overall tone is polished and romantic, evoking traditional invitation lettering and boutique branding. Its rhythm feels confident and slightly dramatic, balancing graceful curves with crisp, calligraphic edges.
Designed to mimic a practiced, formal pen script: emphasizing graceful movement, high-contrast stroke logic, and decorative capitals for an elevated, ceremonial feel. The compact proportions and small lowercase height suggest an intention to create dense, elegant word shapes while relying on capitals and ascenders for visual flourish.
Capitals are more decorative than the lowercase, providing clear hierarchy for initials and short headlines. Numerals follow the same slanted, calligraphic logic, with curved forms and tapered endings that integrate naturally alongside text.
