Curator’s Note

The text is cut into Massangis limestone in a roman majuscule modeled on 2nd-century imperial inscriptions from the Forum of Trajan. The serif proportions, letterforms, and intercolumnar spacing follow standard epigraphic practice; the artificial weathering was achieved using ammonia wash and iron sulphate. The phrase was retired from internal use at Facebook in 2012 and replaced by 'Move Fast with Stable Infra.' This version is in better condition.
