What are rounded corners?
It refers to a method used in the glyph production process to add details to glyphs, at the intersection or turning point of strokes. Generally, there are two types: inner and outer fillets.
This is an internal fillet.
This is the outer corner.
Although adding rounded corners to the font can increase the sophistication of the font, it cannot be added at will. Not to mention being cliché, it will also reduce the clean and neat feeling of the font, making it a little more complicated and lacking the simplicity, which is not practical. in any font.
For example, the following glyph:
The neat font shape requires a sense of exaggeration. At this time, if the turning points are rounded, it will look sloppy.
For some glyphs that are suitable for adding rounded corners, I personally would not just add rounded corners for both internal and external corners:
You can follow the diagonal pattern and only add the opposite corner of the inner fillet. There is something exquisite about it on the whole, but it’s not too much or too greasy.
There are rules for using internal and external rounded corners at the same time, but two rules exist at the same time. For example, closed stroke space is one kind, and then open strokes are another kind. This gives people a feeling that does not follow the routine, but the overall style Maintain a consistent sense of surprise and intriguing.
Or this one, with large diagonal fillets.
Or this kind of one, with both internal and external rounded corners added, the overall feeling is refined, durable and familiar.
There is also this kind, which only adds outer fillets.
In short, the addition of internal and external fillets should be moderate. Although it can increase sophistication and detail, if it is overused, it will become clichéd and muddled, and it will lose the sense of high-end and simplicity. It must be learned through continuous practice and trial.
I hope everyone will become proficient in using rounded corners in future font design.
