Font of the Week — Rockwell

Posted By Lissa Eckert — July 17, 2017

Rockwell is a Monotype font created by Frank Hinman Pierpont in 1934. Rockwell was in part inspired by a font created twenty years earlier, Litho Antique. Rockwell’s most recognizable letter is the “Qq” with it’s lengthy tail making it quite recognizable. Why might you recognize Rockwell? It’s used in the IBM and Heineken logos.
