Designed by Andreas Seidel, Rocaie is a western and display serif font family. This typeface has twenty styles and was published by Astype.

The Rocaie fonts are based on an antique Rococo letters from an gilding workshop. I was very lucky to acquire this set of metal letters in early 2018. Each of the letters has ornaments engraved by hand into its cast brass shapes.

When drawing the digital outlines, I tried to preserve the handmade look of the original leaf engravings. Each of the letters uses a slightly different ornament pattern: no pattern is repeated identically. I expanded the very limited character set of the original.

I made additional font styles to easily add colour layers, outlines, and 3D shadows to the typeface. It’s up to you to decide how to “build” your colour font! You can combine the predefined font styles Regular, Pearl, Solid, Outline, and Magnum with each other, or with the Fill font styles. But you don’t need to use all font styles to compose something nice!

Have as much fun as I did with this Baroque beauty and enjoy the vintage.
