About
Part of a wider type system, Rage Soft extends the Rage family into rounded territory by applying fully hemispheric terminal cuts to a subtly contrasted monolinear structure. Nine weights across Standard, Narrow and XCondensed widths give it genuine versatility from tightly-set display headlines down to modest text sizes. The rounded forms avoid the goofy register of many rounded sans faces by retaining some of the curve tension found in its sibling cuts.
Classification
A subtly contrasted monolinear sans with fully hemispheric stem endings, placing it firmly in the rounded sans category. The page explicitly positions it between Caslon's 1836 rounded sans and Arial Rounded.
