What is your opinion of Concrete Roman? [0]
>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.
I have the referenced book Concrete Mathematics by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik. To my uninformed eye it looks pleasing.

- reikonomusha 7y agoConcrete, AMS Euler, and Computer Modern are all perfectly legible. Concrete suffers from being incomplete in terms of headings, lack of sans-serif, and not having a complete matching mathematical typeface. (The math in Concrete, especially with integrals and sums, looks awful.) It is still leagues behind Modern Series 7, though.
