Italian by Bea Righi

From Milano to space! By Bea Righi my dear super friend! Almost everyday making company to me and debating interesting topics. Thanks a lot!

Bea added a honourable sentence in Latin:

“This is one of the most famous phrase from latin that is still used in the ordinary language. “Cogito ergo sum” (Italian: “Penso dunque sono”; English: “I think, therefore I am”) it is a philosophical Latin statement proposed by René Descartes.” by Bea Richi

The font used had a great historic value. It is the beautiful shaped TRAJAN.

Trajan was designed by Carol Twombly in 1989 for Adobe. Its design was based on the Roman square capitals, as the onse engraved in the base of  Trajan’s Column (Colonna Traiana) in Rome. .

“Trajan is an old style serif typeface. Since the inscription and its writing form manifests in only one case, Trajan is an all-capitals typeface.”

“Instead, small caps are commonly used, and a more complete set of glyphs contained in Trajan Pro (a 2001 update of the original typeface) includes a lower case of small caps.”
