Concrete Roman is a slab serif typeface designed by Donald Knuth using his METAFONT program. It was intended to accompany the Euler mathematical font which it partners in Knuth's book Concrete Mathematics. It has a darker appearance than its more famous sibling, Computer Modern. Some favour it for use on the computer screen because of this, as the thinner strokes of Computer Modern can make it hard to read at low resolutions.

  • Concrete Roman is a slab serif typeface designed by Donald Knuth using his METAFONT program. It was intended to accompany the Euler mathematical font which it partners in Knuth's book Concrete Mathematics. It has a darker appearance than its more famous sibling, Computer Modern.

  • Concrete Roman è un tipo di caratteri disegnato da Donald Knuth con il programma METAFONT. È stata ideato per accostarsi bene al tipo di carattere matematico AMS Euler a cui si accompagna nel libro di Knuth Concrete Mathematics. Ha un aspetto più nero del suo fratello più famoso, il Computer Modern Roman (La famiglia di caratteri usata normalmente dal sistema di composizione tipografica TEX). È preferito da alcuni per l'uso sullo schermo di computer, poiché i tratti più sottili del Computer Modern lo rendono difficile da leggere alle basse risoluzioni. (it)
  • Concrete Roman — брусковый шрифт, разработанный Дональдом Кнутом с помощью METAFONT. Он предназначался для того, чтобы сопровождать шрифт в книге Конкретная математика. Более насыщенный, чем Computer Modern, из-за этого некоторые предпочитают использовать его на экране компьютера, поскольку более светлые штрихи Computer Modern могут затруднить чтение при низком разрешении.

  • Concrete Roman är ett typsnitt designat av Donald E. Knuth. Det är ett derivat av Computer Modern av samme person men har en lite säregen stil, nästan som ett egyptiskt snitt. Denna stil har skapats genom att ungefär 30 parametrar i METAFONT-källkoden har justerats. Knuth hade från början tänkt använda Computer Modern tillsammans med Euler för sin lärobok Concrete Mathematics, men Computer Modern visade sig vara för lätt och spinkig intill Euler, vilket fick honom att skapa Concrete Roman som är avsevärt tyngre. Att Concrete Roman är såpass tung från början är förmodligen anledningen till att någon fet variant aldrig skapats; bara normal (rak), kursiverad och kapitäler står till buds (se bilden ovan). (sv)
  • Concrete Roman 是由高德纳使用 METAFONT 系统设计的一款粗衬线字体。 这款字体设计用以协调数学字体 AMS Euler,并在《具体数学》一书中首次被使用。相比于它著名的“同父兄弟”Computer Modern,Concrete Roman 的外观要更加粗重一些。由于这个原因,该字体有时被人用于屏幕显示,在低分辨率下,Concrete Roman 相比 Computer Modern 要更容易阅读。 (zh)
