Sature Rounded

No sharp angles — softened for impact

Sature Rounded is a rounded display type family by Nicolas Dupuis, originating from large-print lettering drawn on paper. The design removes all sharp angles from the base Sature family and applies horizontal processing to give letters fullness suited to large sizes and high-impact settings. The family ships as a variable font across 5 heights and 10 styles including a slant, enabling contrast and a felt-tip doubling impression between each style.
