Houschka Rounded, which is a rounded version of the 1999 Houschka font used by both Cadbury Schweppes and Tesco, was designed by G-Type founder Nick Cooke.
The font was designed using OpenType technology to give users a choice of up to four different style sets, as well as discretionary ligatures and contextual alternatives.
Cooke said: "After the release of the original Houschka, I discovered many users liked the font, but were uncomfortable with the rounded style of the A, W and w. Straight versions have been incorporated into Houschka Rounded and are accessed by selecting 'Contextual Alternates'.
"I also thought it would be good to offer a little more variety, so there are three extra stylistic sets, which are easy to use: just scroll over the text and, using the pop-up OpenType menu in the character palette, select stylistic set one, two or three. It couldn't be simpler."
Houschka Rounded is available from Fontworks UK or online at www.type.co.uk
