Originally designed for Rolling Stone magazine around 1975, this display serif fuses the publication's logo with the humanist forms of ATF Jenson.

About

Created at Roger Black's request for Rolling Stone, the design merges the magazine's distinctive logotype with the Venetian serif tradition of Nicholas Jenson. The result is an expressive display face with deep historical roots but an unmistakably editorial personality. Additional styles are available through Font Bureau.

Classification

A display serif blending the Rolling Stone magazine logo aesthetic with ATF Jenson, drawing on the humanist Venetian tradition of Nicholas Jenson but with an expressive, editorial character suited to headline use.
