Who knew they carved modern fonts on rocks back in 1620?
I understand the Times New Roman font was compiled from the Roman temples.
I remember the debate at the time.
One side wanted the carving style to be "a reflection of our times".
The other side wanted the carving style to be timeless and "didn't want to date ourselves."
It was the "date ourselves" that won the debate. No one wants to get caught dating themselves in public.
How funny. Went back to the feed and there it was.

"In 1774, the rock broke in half during an attempt to haul it to Town Square in Plymouth. One portion remained in Town Square and was moved to Pilgrim Hall Museum in 1834. It was rejoined with the other portion of the rock, which was still at its original site on the shore of Plymouth Harbor, in 1880. The date 1620 was inscribed at that time. The rock is now ensconced beneath a granite canopy."
