I am currently creating a poster for my school. I want to use some Roman numerals on the poster. How do I type Roman numerals Photoshop on the banner? Is there any font that can do the trick?
To write Roman numerals in Photoshop, I suggest you to follow the following table and use the font-family ‘Times New Roman’ for typing. You may type in a text box.
One – I
Two – II
Three – III
Four – IV
Five – V
Ten – X
Twenty – XX
Fifty – L
Hundred – C
Five hundred – D
One thousand – M
The Roman numerals are just a combination of letters that has an equivalent value in numbers. It is just a way to represent a value in numbers to letters. If you want to use Adobe Photoshop to create a banner with Roman numerals, you can use just any font you like. You can even use the “Times New Roman” font to display or print the letters properly.
According to wolfram.com:
“Roman numerals are a system of numerical notations used by the Romans. They are an additive (and subtractive) system in which letters are used to denote certain “base” numbers, and arbitrary numbers are then denoted using combinations of symbols. Unfortunately, little is known about the origin of the Roman numeral system (Cajori 1993, p. 30).”
The following are the Latin letters used in roman numerals and their corresponding numerical value:
