The typeface was designed at the Monotype Corporation Monotype foundry s in house design studio in 1934. ref cite book page 194 isbn 07137 0191 9 title Encyclopaedia of Type Faces origyear 1953 year 1970 edition 4th authors W. Pincus Jaspert, W. Turner Berry and A.F. Johnson publisher Blandford Press location London ref 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. Because of its monoweighted stroke, Rockwell is used primarily for display rather than lengthy bodies of text. Rockwell is based on an earlier, more condensed slab serif design called Litho Antique . The 1933 design for Monotype was supervised by Frank Hinman Pierpont. The Guinness World Records used Rockwell in some of their early 1990s editions.

Harvey drew the lettering in 1988 as part of the book jacket design for James F. Peck s book In the Studios of Paris William Bouguereau and His American Students, a Yale University Press publication. That lettering became the foundation for the 1986 typeface Andreas. In keeping with the book s subject, Harvey wanted letterform s that reflected the Art Nouveau period. The letterforms also bear comparison with the condensed, calligraphic thirteenth century Italian monumental capitals. Due to space constraints, the type had to be narrow enough to allow the title to fit on a single line across the top, so as to not intrude on the Van Gogh painting that filled the rest of the jacket. To accomplish this he drew the letterforms freehand, giving them highly animated organic strokes and narrow character set. He also added distinctive junctions of letter strokes to the D, P, and R. The typeface was drawn in outline, intending to reverse to white, so as to not be overly assertive on the cover.
