None of the fonts that look most like Rosaline sets text to its width and x-height: a swap would move lines.
Fallback while it loads

Questions about Rosaline
Answered from its licence, Fontshare and each app’s own font list
Is Rosaline free for commercial use?
Yes. Rosaline is under the ITF Free Font License 2.0 , which allows commercial use, logos you can register as trademarks and your own websites and apps. But its files may not be changed, not even subset, nor passed outside your organisation.
How do I download and install Rosaline?
FontKind doesn’t host Rosaline’s files: it comes free from Fontshare , Indian Type Foundry’s library, and only from there. Download it from its page there and unzip the file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.
Is Rosaline in Microsoft Word?
Not until you install it: Rosaline isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. For someone who hasn’t installed it, save it as a PDF, which carries the font with it.
Is Rosaline in Google Docs?
Probably not: the More fonts list in Docs draws on Google Fonts, and Rosaline comes from Fontshare. Docs can’t add a font of your own, so set it in an app on your computer, such as Word, instead.
Is Rosaline in Figma?
Not built in: Figma includes Google Fonts, and Rosaline comes from Fontshare. Install it on your computer and Figma lists it.
How many weights does Rosaline have?
Rosaline comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.
Who designed Rosaline?
Rosaline was designed by Jérémie Hornus. Jérémie Hornus also made Inria Sans, Inria Serif, Alpino and seven more on FontKind.
