A story from the history of science
Sidereus Nuncius, Latin for 'Starry Messenger', is the short book in which Galileo reported his discovery of four moons orbiting Jupiter. Seeing moons circle another planet helped support heliocentrism, the idea that the planets, including Earth, revolve around the Sun. Few ink names carry such a rich story.
An antique palette
Sidereus Nuncius is a quiet, muted brown-grey that looks like old manuscript ink, perfect for scholars, history lovers and anyone who enjoys a vintage feel. Heliocentrism is a deep teal that adds a touch of the night sky. Together they make a refined, grown-up pairing.
Where they shine
- Research notes, commonplace books and study journals
- Letters on cream or ivory paper
- Sketching with a fine nib, using the teal for accents
