To accom-plish great

In our music, in our everyday
life, there are so many negative things. Why not have something positive and stamp it with blackness?

One of the things
that kept me out of trou-ble was do-ing something creative, cre-ativity can`t be judged.
We all have our imper-
fections. But I`m human and you know, it`s important to concentrate on other qualities be-sides outer beauty.

[Rockwell Extra Bold]
Etymology
Originated in England in 1845. Clarendon is an Eng-lish slab-serif typeface. It was created in England by Robert for the Fann Street Foundry in 1845. Polished by Edouard Hoffmann and Hermann Ei-denbenz at Haas (company), a little over a century later.
Etymology
Created by Monotype Imag-ing. Rockwell’s precursor was a design called Litho Antique (produced by the Inland Type Foundry in 1910). The American Type Founders later revived this face during 1920s. Morris Fuller Benton (font designer) cut sever-al new weights– and The Mono-type Corporation produced the new version, Rockwell, in 1933.
