4 Rockwell is a slab serif typeface designed by the Monotype Corporation and released in 1934.The project was supervised by Monotype's engineering manager Frank Hinman Pierpont. A serif at the apex of uppercase A is distinct. The lowercase a is two-storey. Because of its monoweighted stroke, Rockwell is used primarily for display or small-size use rather than lengthy bodies of body text. Rockwell is based on an earlier, more condensed slab serif design cast by the Inland Type Foundry called Litho Antique.
