SonOfTime font

This font is based on the handwriting of Giovanni Borgia/Joan Borja duke of Gandia who was the son of a pope and the grandfather of a saint member of a much-decried family and founder of a most pious one. Having been sent to Spain to marry in 1493 the widow of his deceased brother Pedro Luis — Maria Enriquez a cousin of king Ferdinand of Aragon – and take possession of the Spanish dukedom said brother had left him he corresponded a lot with his father back in Rome. It seems his father had much to complain about. Not only did Giovanni spend tons of cash to manage enlarge and aggrandize his Spanish possessions but there were also reports that he had not consumed his marriage didn’t share his wife’s bed and was wont to roam the streets at night in search of questionable entertainments. On 4th December 1493 Giovanni wrote a letter to justify himself in the matter calling all such reports slander protesting that he was in love with his wife and had spent every night in the nuptial bed except on one occasion when it had been prevented by a social engagement of the most innocent nature.
