Author's note

Rosa by Ewen Prigent is a free rough-edged display font with broad, ink-heavy letters and an unruly hand-cut silhouette. Strong changes in stroke width, pinched joins, and sharp wedge-like notches give the lettering a folk-art quality, yet the rounded forms keep it lively rather than severe.

Folk music and handmade goods suit its carved, organic shapes, particularly on album covers, artisan food packaging, and craft-market posters. It also has the theatrical force needed for festival graphics. The irregular contours can become part of an illustrated label or emblem, but its most convincing role is in branding that needs to look drawn, carved, and slightly untamed.
