Rousseau Regular Police

Rousseau is a free curly old-school display font with dramatic thick-thin strokes and fine, looping flourishes. Its tall, formal letters combine sharp serifs with ornamental curls that slip through and around the main shapes.

Fashion mastheads are its strongest setting, where the elegant proportions and eccentric loops can suggest couture with a slightly theatrical edge. The same ornament makes it useful for perfume packaging, gallery posters, and literary event invitations, turning the lettering into part of the decorative artwork.

Rousseau is based on Didot and incorporates elements of script fonts.
