The story behind the design
The We Hold These Truths Design
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…” The opening of the Declaration of Independence’s second paragraph is the American creed in a single sentence. Our design sets it in an engraver’s script under “In Congress, July 4, 1776” in the blackletter of the engrossed parchment, with a quill pen.
