Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes

In an effort to learn more about type I’m going to make a goal to post about typefaces I enjoy on a weekly basis.

This weeks find is a sexy, thick slab serif called Romeral by Juan Pablo De Gregorio.

“Romeral is designed to produce a noticeable visual impact that invites the audience to the reading due to its sizable thickness. Interestingly enough, the basic idea was to find a way to fill the color titles zone in order to create a comfortable atmosphere for the reading experience. Nowadays, the complex typography of the typefaces makes it very hard for the designer to work with it comfortably. Romeral’s straight geometric form allows an amateur designer to modify its points without much difficulty The idea is to be able to easily design a personalized layout of the text.”
More information, including a PDF specimen of the typeface is available at http://www.typies.blogspot.com/2006/12/romeral-display-typeface.html
