    Helvetica or similar with radius?

    Hi all

    For some time I've been searching for a sans font very simlar to helvetica but that has small rounded corners. Nothing as extreme a Helvetica Rounded, just a very subtle raduis on it's corners. Does anyoneone know of such a font?

    One way of describing the effect is as if you were to add a stroke to the character with 'round join' in the strokes settings within InDesign/Illustrator.

    Thanks all!

    Hogie.

    Thanks Paul but as I mentioned in my previous post I'm not looking for anything as extreme as Helvetica rounded and Vag is.

    I'm just looking for something with a very subtle radius that softens the overall shape of the character.

    Cheers

    Not quite what I'm after but it has the rounded corners I'm looking for.

    Thanks though!
