About
EK Roumald is a display serif inspired by Anglo-American neo-classical typefaces of the nineteenth century. Rounded transitions and softened counterforms, derived from mechanical production logic and ink slurs, give the design a warm yet precise character. The result balances classical elegance with a restrained technical edge, making Roumald expressive without becoming ornamental.
Design Logic

Mono-spaced Family
The width shapes the form – from left to right: uppercase “M”, small-cap “m”, and lowercase “m” in Roman Mono.
The numero sign in Mono has a distinctive design; its strongly limited width gives it a unique contrast character.
