Tombarolo is a type family that offers a contemporary reinterpretation of Roman carved capitals, drawing particular inspiration from the inscription on Trajan’s Column. Developed from Aldo Novarese’s Nova Augustea, the font stands out for its vertical axis, strong contrast, and truncated wedge-shaped serifs, which emphasize its incisive character. Tombarolo is presented through a specimen designed to highlight its formal features, hand-bound with Singer stitching. The richness of its glyph set and numeric variations make it a versatile typeface for contemporary publishing.
