Author's note
Rowsky font by Limitype is a free bold groovy display font. Built around blocky, monolithic forms sliced by razor-thin vertical cuts, it turns negative space into rhythm. The letters feel hefty and tactile—like vinyl lettering pressed into glossy signage—while those narrow incisions add snap and motion. It’s retro without being kitsch, channeling a 70s sci‑fi marquee with crisp, contemporary control.
Using Rowsky at big sizes makes headlines pop for posters, album covers, festival branding, packaging, logos, and bold social graphics. The tight spacing keeps lines cohesive, and the internal slits prevent it from feeling heavy. Pair this free font with a light geometric sans for body copy, or add a touch of extra tracking to let the grooves breathe.
