The Bitstream version of Monotype Rockwell, 1934.

Twentieth-century design influence is revealed in strokes of more even weight than in the original nineteenth-century Egyptians or Slab Serifs.

Rockwell is a prime example of this twentieth-century approach. It seems to be a simple Constructivist geometric sans with strong square slab serifs added to. Angular terminals make its sturdy design particular sparkling. It is a strong face for headlines and posters, and is legible in very short text blocks.

Cyrillic version was developed at ParaType in 2000 by Isay Slutsker and Manvel Shmavonyan.
