Roman is a free high-contrast serif with the poised, formal look of a Didone display face. Broad vertical strokes meet hairline details, and the rounded forms have a distinctly upright, sculpted shape. The sharp serifs keep it crisp.
Luxury fashion and fragrance brands could use its dramatic proportions for packaging and refined advertising, with the lettering echoing the clean silhouettes common to those markets. In publishing, it is especially convincing on magazine covers and literary editions, where its strong thick-thin pattern can establish an elegant editorial voice for classic fiction.
