Roundo

Story

Roundo is a geometric sans serif typeface, optimized for headlines and other on-screen display-sized text. Roundo’s character set is made up of top-heavy letters; this reverse contrast is particularly visible in Roundo’s lowercase letters. The typeface’s lowercase also sports a nice hybridization of geometric sans and humanistic sans design features. Roundo’s capital letters, on the other hand, are more geometric. The x-height of Roundo’s lowercase is tall: this means that the design combines shorter capital letters with ascenders and descenders not long enough to distract the reader. The lowercase “a” takes a double-storey form, while the “g” is single-storey. Roundo’s ascenders are topped off with diagonal shears, adding dynamism to any text set with the typeface. All dots in the typeface – be they for punctuation or other marks – are round. 6 font styles make up the initial Roundo release: ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold, and Bold. Each font contains 408 glyphs. Roundo was designed by Shiva Nallaperumal at the Indian Type Foundry and was first published in 2016. Roundo is licensed under the SIL Open Font License.
