A delicate calligraphic italic with hairline-thin entry strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation across curves and downstrokes. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with a consistent rightward slant and a smooth, continuous rhythm that suggests pen-driven construction. Capitals feature restrained swashes and looping terminals, while the lowercase stays open and lightly built, with tall ascenders, modest bowls, and a generally clean, unconnected script structure. Numerals follow the same fine-line contrast and italic stress, keeping an overall light, refined texture on the page.
Best suited to display settings where its fine contrast and swashed capitals can be appreciated—such as invitations, formal announcements, boutique or luxury branding, and editorial headlines. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads, but extended small-size text may lose clarity due to the very light hairlines.
The font communicates a poised, classical elegance with a soft, romantic cadence. Its airy strokes and gentle swashes feel ceremonial and tasteful rather than exuberant, lending a polished, upscale tone.
Designed to evoke formal handwriting in a polished, print-ready form, emphasizing refined contrast, graceful movement, and tasteful flourish for elevated display typography.
At larger sizes the contrast and terminal detailing read crisply, while at smaller sizes the hairline joins and thin serifs may become visually fragile. The compact proportions and steady slant create a disciplined line of text, with capitals providing most of the expressive flourish.
