3 forms of Reverentia

It comes from Latin reverentia (“awe, respect”), from the verb revereri (“to stand in awe of, respect, fear”), which breaks down as re- (intensive prefix) + vereri (“to stand in awe of, fear, respect”). This traces to the Proto-Indo-European root *wer- (3) meaning “to perceive, watch out for” (related to words like “aware” or “wary”). […]

Divina Comedia: ‘L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle’

This is one of the most beautiful and profound lines in all of world literature. It is the very last line of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy — the closing verse of Paradiso (Canto XXXIII). Full context in Italian: “l’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle.” Literal translation: “The Love that moves the Sun and the other stars.” Meaning: Dante is not speaking of romantic love here, but of divine Love — the primal, creative force that is the source and engine of the entire universe.

It is the ultimate answer to everything the pilgrim (Dante) has sought through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven: the universe is not moved by blind mechanical laws, but by Love.

#2: Extraordinary Gentleman’s Coffee

Indulge, dear fellow, in the velvety, slightly dangerous embrace of the Extraordinary Gentleman's Coffee — a concoction forged for those few remaining souls who still understand that civilisation is maintained not by policy, but by the correct proportion of butter, oil, and unapologetic style.

Plato’s Timaeus: ‘Why we have sight, speech and hearing’

I will now speak of the higher purpose of God in giving us eyes. Sight is the source of the greatest benefits to us; for if our eyes had never seen the sun, stars, and heavens, the words which we have spoken would not have been uttered. The sight of them and their revolutions has given us the knowledge of number and time, the power of enquiry, and philosophy, which is the great blessing of human life; not to speak of the lesser benefits which even the vulgar can appreciate.

The HERMÈS Font

HERMÈS is a contemporary revival inspired by Gill SignWriter, the elegant lettering model created for W. H. Smith in 1903. Retaining the charm and craftsmanship of early 20th-century British signage, Hermes refines those forms for modern use—balancing warmth, clarity, and a subtle classical grace. It’s a typeface that carries the voice of tradition into the present, ideal for projects that value both heritage and readability.

Creating Typography Harmonizes the Courses of the Soul

In Plato's Timaeus, we read: “I will now speak of the higher purpose of God in giving us eyes. Sight is the source of the greatest benefits to us; for if our eyes had never seen the sun, stars, and heavens, the words which we have spoken would not have been uttered. The sight of them and their revolutions has given us the knowledge of number and time, the power of enquiry, and philosophy, which is the great blessing of human life; not to speak of the lesser benefits which even the vulgar can appreciate.
