Romul specimen from ParaType

A caps-only inscriptional roman from 1995, drawn at TypeMarket by Sergey Shanovich as a derivation of Carol Twombly's Trajan.

About

Romul follows the letterform proportions and high stroke contrast of Trajan, itself rooted in classical Roman monumental inscriptions. Available in a single Normal style, the family consists entirely of capital letters, making it suited to display and titling applications. The specimen confirms the characteristic wide, open capitals with strong bracketed serifs and fine hairline strokes.

Classification

The specimen shows tall, high-contrast capital letterforms with strong bracketed serifs closely following the Trajan model – an inscriptional roman derived from classical Roman lapidary letterforms. The family is caps-only with a single weight.
