Monotype Library of Postscript Typefaces provided Postscript Language Type 1 Fonts, in this case the Rockwell typeface.

PostScript (PS) is a page description language which is dynamically typedconcatenative programming languageused in the electronic publishing and desktop publishing business.  It was created at Adobe Systems by John WarnockCharles Geschke, Doug Brotz, Ed Taft and Bill Paxton from 1982 to 1984.

Rockwell font appeared with Monotype Design Studio in 1934, a time which saw the return to popularity of slab serif fonts. When Frank Hinman Pierpont, in collaboration with Monotype, decided to create and release the Rockwell typeface family in 1934, several unique characteristics, including differences in spacing, letter weight and subtle changes in glyph formation, were included. Slab serif fonts are versatile, as their often mono-weighted tendencies render them perfectly suitable for headlining and other applications requiring a steady, bold typeface.

This package was intended for use with the Adobe Type Manager as commonly used on the Apple Macintosh and included Screen Fonts and Printer Fonts.
