A delicate formal script with hairline strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, built on a consistent rightward slant. Letterforms are narrow and looping, with long entry and exit strokes, frequent swashes, and teardrop-like terminals that mimic pointed-pen calligraphy. Capitals are especially ornate, featuring extended curves and flourishes, while lowercase maintains a lighter, more restrained cadence with occasional tall ascenders and fine connectors. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, using slender strokes and graceful curves to match the alphabet.
Best suited for display typography where its flourish and contrast can be appreciated—wedding suites, event stationery, monograms, beauty and luxury branding, and editorial headlines. It can also work for short quotes or certificates when set with ample size and spacing to preserve the delicate strokes and ornate capitals.
The overall tone is sophisticated and ceremonial, conveying a sense of romance and luxury. Its airy hairlines and ornate capitals read as classic and polished, evoking invitations, formal correspondence, and premium branding.
Designed to emulate formal pointed-pen handwriting, prioritizing elegance, motion, and decorative capital forms. The consistent slant, flowing connections, and extended swashes suggest an emphasis on expressive wordmarks and ceremonial typography rather than dense, continuous reading.
The contrast and fine joins create a sparkling texture at display sizes, while the long swashes and tight spacing can create dramatic word shapes. The sample text shows strong rhythm and consistent pen-angle behavior, with capital flourishes that can dominate a line and benefit from generous line spacing.
