About Red Rose

Red Rose is a display typeface with broad, low-contrast letters that stretch a headline horizontally. The shapes are those of an extended sans serif, but small spurs appear on some strokes: the leg of R ends in a pointed foot, and letters such as a, d and u keep a short tail at the baseline. The official description says Jaikishan Patel designed the face for posters about love, romance, drama, thrillers, noir and passion. Red Rose is a variable font with a weight axis running from 300 to 700; the named weights are Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. There are no italics. The font holds 635 glyphs covering Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The official notes still describe an earlier release with fewer weights and a slightly different glyph total; the figures here come from the current files. The license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Red Rose works

Film and theatre posters

Poster titles for romance, drama and noir are the purpose stated by the designer.

Title cards and thumbnails

Wide letters fill a landscape frame with a short title.

Covers for romance and crime fiction

The genre brief behind the design carries over to book covers, with Bold for the title and Light for the author line.

Wide wordmarks

Extended proportions turn a short brand name into a long, low lockup.

Vietnamese headlines

Vietnamese accented letters are included, so titles in Vietnamese use the same wide forms.

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Things to know

Weight range 300 to 700

The variable axis stops at Bold 700; there is no ExtraBold or Black.

No italics

Red Rose has upright styles only.

Wide set

Every letter is extended, so a line holds fewer characters than in a normal-width face.
