In the 19th and 20th centuries, they were a major inspiration for artisans of the [[Arts and Crafts movement]] such as [[Edward Johnston]] and [[Eric Gill]], and so many signs and engravings created with an intentionally artistic design in the twentieth century are based on them.<ref name="In Defence of the Roman Letter">{{cite journal|last1=Nash|first1=John|title=In Defence of the Roman Letter|journal=Journal of the Edward Johnston Foundation|url=http://www.ejf.org.uk/Resources/JRNarticle.pdf|access-date=13 October 2016}}</ref><ref name="Writing & Illuminating & Lettering">{{cite book|last1=Johnston|first1=Edward|author-link=Edward Johnston|title=Writing & Illuminating & Lettering|date=1906|publisher=Macmillan|quote=The Roman capitals have held the supreme place among letters for readableness and beauty.

==== Influence on modern typefaces ====
During the early era of the [[movable type]] [[printing press]], Roman square capitals became the primary inspiration for the capital letters in early serif [[typeface]]s; [[Roman type]], especially that developed by those associated with [[Aldus Manutius]], came to produce a number of typefaces still used to the present day.<ref>[[Bringhurst, Robert]] (2008), ''[[The Elements of Typographic Style]]'' (version 3.2).
