Is that not gorgeous!!!

That is one of the most beautiful fonts I have ever laid eyes on.
I love the monocase version. The 'it' and 'gi' ligatures are lovely too. I could have done without knowing about that one. Now I have to go through coveting recovery.

Does the graphic on that page reflect the font? There are all kinds of odd serifs that I kind of like, but Imperial doesn't seem to have them.

It looks like someone used DTC Imperial (a completely different font) to create the graphic instead of URW Imperial.

I’d never noticed that. Looking at the graphic, I was very surprised.
