Slab Serifs ⅹ Three

bimms

Im doing a project for my graphic design class. The goal is to create 3 unique brochures sharing a common thread. individually these brochures are about a single typeface the common thread is the classification, Slab Serifs. My selections are, Rockwell, Chaparral, and Lubalin Graph. I know that these arn’t the best and that serifa and stymie would be better choices but i’m a student, and well that’s all i can get my hands on. okay, so my question to you fellow type lovers is, does anyone know WHO created rockwell? I Keep Finding that Rockwell was created by Monotype Designs, But my instructor wants to know WHO created it. i assume it was a collective effort. the reason why its also important from a design perspective is because i need an image of the creator, and if the creator was a company instead of a single human being or a team, im going to need to find an image of a building and photoshop Monotype designs on the side of it. Not my style.

Oh and another question, does anyone know where i can find the three typefaces, Rockwell, Chaparral, and Lubalin Graph in use? I know that WHATTHEFONT.COM is useful at figuring out what font is used the only trouble is i have to HAVE the fonts in my cache, and i cant seem to find anything.

Id appreciate all the help i can get and i look forward to learning from you all.
