ROCKWELL FONT STYLE PRO
Rockwell OpenType® Pro fonts have an extended character set supporting Greek, Cyrillic, most Central European and many Eastern European languages, in addition to providing for the automatic insertion of ligatures and fractions. A benefit to Rockwell’s slab serifs, however, is that the design combines beautifully with both sans serif typefaces and a variety of serif designs. It should not, however, be set so tight that its serifs touch, as this will erode legibility and impair readability. Rockwell’s large x-height, simple character shapes and open counters, make for an exceptionally legible design. With four weights of normal proportions, each with a complementary italic, and three condensed designs, two with italics, the family is a commanding and versatile graphic communicator. The regular and italic designs perform handsomely, in the most modest of screen resolutions. Throw in a little color, and you amp up Rockwell’s messaging power. The light and bold weights are perfect for setting blocks of text copy, while the extra bold and condensed designs bring authority to display copy. The simple shapes and hearty serifs also make it a good choice for short blocks of textual content in both print and on-screen environments. The family is excellent for branding, headlines and other display uses. Marked by the flat top-serifs on the cap A, unusual Q tail and high-legibility two-storied lowercase a, Rockwell has a bit of handmade charm that distinguishes it from the cool, more modern interpretations of the slab serif style.
