Varela Round
Every stroke ends in a full semicircle, which is the most literal reading of "rounded" in this archive and the reason it turns up on so many app screens and children's products. Underneath the rounding it is an ordinary geometric sans with fairly wide proportions. One weight, and it has no italic and no bold.

Questions
- Is Varela Round free for commercial use?
- Yes. Varela Round is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Varela Round in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Varela Round belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Joe Prince. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Varela Round?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Varela Round support Turkish?
- Yes. Varela Round includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- What languages does Varela Round support?
- Yes. Varela Round covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish, Vietnamese and Hebrew, across 824 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
