Rockwell was created by Frank Pierpont and published by Monotype. Rockwell includes 9 styles and family package alternatives. p > Whether you call them slab serif, square serif, or Egyptian, you understand them when you see them-- tough, nearly monoweight styles with blunt, straight-edged serifs and a no-nonsense attitude. The Rockwell ® Nova family is a fine example of this enticing and eminently functional type design. This is a design that is both robust and adaptable.

Marked by the flat top-serifs on the cap A, uncommon Q tail and high-legibility two-storied lowercase a, Rockwell has a little bit of handcrafted appeal that differentiates it from the cool, more modern-day interpretations of the slab serif style.

The household is outstanding for branding, headlines and other screen uses. The easy shapes and hearty serifs also make it a great option for short blocks of textual material in both print and on-screen environments. The light and bold weights are best for setting blocks of text copy, while the extra bold and condensed designs bring authority to display copy. Include a little color, and you amp up Rockwell's messaging power. The routine and italic styles carry out handsomely, in the most modest of screen resolutions. With four weights of normal proportions, each with a complementary italic, and 3 condensed styles, 2 with italics, the household is a commanding and versatile graphic communicator.

Rockwell's large x-height, simple character shapes and open counters, make for an incredibly understandable style. It must not, nevertheless, be set so tight that its serifs touch, as this will wear down legibility and hinder readability. A benefit to Rockwell's piece serifs, nevertheless, is that the style combines perfectly with both sans serif typefaces and a range of serif designs.

Rockwell OpenType ® Pro font styles have an extended character set supporting Greek, Cyrillic, the majority of Main European and many Eastern European languages, in addition to attending to the automatic insertion of ligatures and fractions.
