Student: Marta Cabral
Typeface: EK Roumald (2022–2023)
Classification (R-Vox): Transicional / Modern Serif (Scotch Roman)
Archetype: Scotch Roman (1813) and Century (c. 1900)
Main Features Highlighted by Student: Erkin Karamemet’s display face mimics the mechanical heritage of the Benton Pantograph by translating it onto contemporary CNC router tool-paths. The student emphasizes the vertical axis, high contrast, robust bracketed serifs, and particularly the rounded ink traps caused by the circular path of a physical router bit.
Best Practices & Execution: A brilliant post-modern case study. The student expertly parses how modern digital production tools leave artifacts that parallel historical mechanical constraints, offering a thorough, highly organized analysis that connects morphology directly to industrial tool behaviors.
