Romain du Roi or RoyalRomain is a Roman typeface that was developed in France and was commissioned by King Louis XIV. At the time, King Louis XIV was in search of a new typeface that would be used by the Royal Print Office. Romain du Roi was designed with the method of using a square and dividing it into eight sections, and further dividing that into thirty-six smaller units. This approach was unlike any of the time, switching the outlook on how typeface is designed and meant to look by using a more mathematical process. Some type historians have even said that Romain du Roi “first digital font” due to the methods used to create it. During the time this font was made, typeface design technique had been shifting, this time known as the Transitional or Neoclassical Period.
