Acquedotti holds the traditional look of its engraved origin, while adding character through the curved serifs that adorn it. With its condensed form, decoratively arching serifs, and contrasting weights, Acquedotti is ideal for displays.
ORIGINS
Acquedotti was derived from a wall of a Florentine Farmacia. The Farmacia has roots dating back to the early 15th century and was supported by the renowned Medici Family. Its hand-carved nature is indicative of mid-19th century lettering.
