A formal script with a steep rightward slant, hairline entry/exit strokes, and pronounced thick–thin modulation reminiscent of pointed-pen calligraphy. Capitals are expansive and swashy, with long initial strokes and open loops that create generous horizontal movement. Lowercase forms are compact with a notably small x-height and tall ascenders/descenders, producing a vertical, airy rhythm; joins are smooth and mostly continuous, with occasional breaks typical of display scripts. Terminals often finish in fine, tapering flicks, and counters remain open despite the high contrast, keeping the texture crisp rather than heavy.
Best suited to display typography where flourish and contrast can be appreciated: wedding suites, formal invitations, luxury branding, boutique packaging, certificates, and short editorial headlines. It works particularly well for names, monograms, and title-case settings where the ornate capitals can lead the composition.
The overall tone is graceful and ceremonial, projecting a sense of luxury and old-world polish. Its sweeping capitals and delicate hairlines give it a romantic, invitation-like character, while the controlled stroke rhythm keeps it poised and upscale.
Designed to emulate elegant handwritten penmanship, emphasizing dramatic contrast, sweeping capitals, and fine tapering strokes for a polished, celebratory look. The compact lowercase and tall extenders appear intended to create a refined, high-fashion silhouette in short phrases rather than dense body text.
The exaggerated swashes on many uppercase letters can command significant space and may require generous letterspacing and line spacing in longer settings. The figures follow the same calligraphic logic, with slender curves and tapering terminals that blend naturally with the letterforms.
