Author's note

Grenouille by Louis Rigaud is a free comic display font with a storybook-Art Nouveau flavor. The letters mix tall, soft curves with a few theatrical spirals, so the whole font feels playful but slightly eccentric rather than bouncy or cute.

It works well for children's book covers, cafe branding, poster titles, packaging, and whimsical editorial headings where a free font with a hand-drawn mood feels right. Use it for short headlines, title cards, or big initials when you want the curling details and rounded rhythm to do most of the talking.
