A delicate calligraphic serif with hairline-thin connecting strokes and sharply modulated thick–thin transitions. Letterforms lean on a formal italic structure: tapered entries, pointed joins, and long, controlled curves that terminate in fine hooks and teardrop-like swashes. The capitals are especially ornamental, featuring looping flourishes and extended upper-left and lower-right gestures, while lowercase maintains a slimmer, more text-ready rhythm with occasional calligraphic terminals. Numerals follow the same refined construction, mixing narrow stems with airy counters and crisp, high-contrast curves.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, titles, event invitations, and premium branding where the swashy capitals can take center stage. It can also complement upscale packaging and identity work when paired with a quieter secondary text face for body copy.
The overall tone is polished and glamorous, evoking luxury stationery and fashion editorial typography. Its airy hairlines and swashy capitals add a romantic, ceremonial feel, while the disciplined structure keeps it poised rather than playful.
The font appears designed to deliver a formal, calligraphed impression with a modern high-fashion sheen, prioritizing expressive capitals and refined stroke modulation for elegant, statement-making typography.
The design relies on very fine strokes and open spacing to preserve clarity, and the most decorative forms appear in the uppercase and select lowercase letters (notably those with loops and descenders). The contrast and thin terminals create a light, shimmering texture that reads best when given generous size and breathing room.
