A decorative script with tall, slender proportions and pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes are clean and crisp with noticeable contrast between hairlines and thicker downstrokes, plus teardrop-like terminals and occasional ball ends. Letterforms lean toward separated, calligraphic constructions rather than fully connected joining, with frequent loops on ascenders/descenders and a gently springy baseline rhythm. Capitals are especially ornate, featuring large entry swashes and internal curls, while lowercase remains narrow and simple with very small counters and compact bowls.
Best suited for display typography where its fine strokes and flourished capitals can be appreciated—wedding and event invitations, boutique branding, product labels, greeting cards, and short editorial headlines. For longer text, it performs more comfortably in brief phrases, pull quotes, or titling where the narrow forms and tall extenders won’t crowd lines.
The overall tone is formal yet playful: polished enough for invitations and headings, but with a light, quirky charm created by its looping flourishes and tall, wiry silhouette. It suggests a romantic, old-world feel with a slightly storybook sensibility rather than strict traditional penmanship.
Designed to provide an expressive, formal script look with a strong vertical silhouette and decorative capitals, prioritizing elegance and personality over text efficiency. The restrained slant and airy stroke treatment aim for a refined, modern cleanliness while keeping classic calligraphic ornament.
Numerals are similarly slender and stylized, with distinctive open curves on 2 and 3 and a narrow, looped 8. The font relies on generous vertical space—long extenders and swashes add personality but can create busy texture in dense settings. Small sizes may feel fragile due to fine hairlines and tight internal spaces, while larger sizes showcase the detailing more clearly.
