Wikipedia
Rockwell is a serif typeface belonging to the classification slab serif, or Egyptian, where the serifs are unbracketed and similar in weight to the horizontal strokes of the letters.
The typeface was designed at the Monotype foundry's in-house design studio in 1934.
The project was supervised by Frank Hinman Pierpont.
Slab serifs are similar in form and in typographic voice to realist sans-serifs like Akzidenz Grotesk or Franklin Gothic.
Rockwell is geometric, its upper-and lowercase O more of a circle than an ellipse.
A serif at the apex of uppercase A is distinct.
The lowercase a is two-story, somewhat incongruous for a geometrically drawn typeface.
