Originally commissioned by Volkswagen, VAG Rounded stayed in usage by the company up until the early 90s and has actually also been utilized by Apple, Skype and Myspace. Its enduring appeal depends on its appealingly rounded terminals, and its immediate, casual tone of voice.
" When you take a look at the Volkswagen Beetle it has these curves that are classic and famous," says Steve Matteson, who led the production of VAG Rounded Next. "I believe that's what sticks out in this style-- that friendly aesthetic, and the simple line and circle."
This new variation uses 700 glyphs with pan European language support (consisting of Greek and Cyrllic), as well as 10 weights of upright and italic styles. New display weights Shine and Rough-- which develop "chocolate popsicle" and "rust" impacts-- are pleading to be used in branding, packaging and editorial tasks, while the lighter weights are well suited for text.
