“Romain du Roi was not widely released for general use, reinforcing its role as a symbol of royal exclusivity.” The elusiveness of the original lends extra sparkle to the revival’s accessibility – at least that’s what seems to be going on here. Interesting.

A2 format specimen poster for Romain du Roi, Ian Party’s version of a famous piece of design history, released in June 2025 through his Newglyph foundry. Printed on one side only, in black and silver, folded to A4 format.
