About Rochester
Rochester by Sideshow is a formal English roundhand script font capturing the refined copperplate penmanship tradition — flowing strokes, pronounced ascenders and descenders, and a consistent rightward slant that evokes 18th-century correspondence. The single weight is deliberate and measured, lending itself to wedding invitations, formal certificates, high-end packaging, and any application requiring classic calligraphic elegance. Its legibility is stronger than many script fonts at the same formality level.
