Aribau Rounded

Aribau Rounded is a rounded sans serif font family designed by Eduardo Manso and published through Emtype Foundry in Barcelona. Originally commissioned for a banking institution, the typeface retains the clarity of its grotesk sibling Aribau Grotesk while adding warmth through softly rounded contours. The result is a friendly yet professional typeface that avoids childlike overtones.

The font family includes 18 files spanning nine weights from thin to black with matching italics, plus variable font versions for precise weight control. Each weight includes 69 glyphs in the trial version. The variable font technology allows designers to fine-tune the weight to exact specifications, offering unprecedented typographic control for responsive web design and adaptive layouts.

Aribau Rounded excels in banking and financial branding, corporate communications, app interfaces, web design, packaging, and any project that needs a friendly yet professional sans serif. The font pairs naturally with serif typefaces for editorial contrast or works as a complete system across its weight range. Its combination of warmth, professionalism, and variable font technology makes it a modern choice for brands that want approachable typography without sacrificing authority.
