Romaine specimen from Fontwerk

A serif revival drawing on 450 years of old-style tradition, offered in Regular and Bold with matching italics.

About

Romaine positions itself as a contemporary interpretation of Renaissance serif letterforms, blending historical proportions with present-day refinement. The four-style family covers Regular, Bold and their italics, making it a compact but functional choice for text-heavy editorial work. The specimen leans heavily on long-form prose settings, suggesting the design is optimised for comfortable reading at smaller sizes.

Classification

The tagline references a 450-year-old heritage, pointing to Renaissance or old-style origins; the letterforms visible in the specimen display classical proportions and bracketed serifs consistent with a humanist or Garalde serif tradition.
