The design was inspired by the of the pre-eminent Renaissance writing master Francesco Cresci. Version One it's an almost faithful interpretation of Cresci's capital letters.

Each of three versions has its own merits and they may be used in combination or alone. It's monumental character makes it the perfect choice for public lettering in buildings.
