SP Compact Rounded was introduced in 2016. Different from SF Pro, its characters' round curves are flatter, allowing the letters to be laid out with more space between them, thereby making the text more legible at small sizes, which Apple Watch small screen demands. Initial font introduced with the Apple Watch and watchOS, but was later rebranded as SF Compact with the introduction of SF UI at WWDC 2015. The operating system automatically chooses the display optical size for sizes of at least 20 points, and the text optical size otherwise. Compared to display, the letters in text have larger apertures and more generous letter-spacing. Some variants have two optical sizes: "display" for large and "text" for small text. Note: SF has the codename SFNS in macOS and SFUI in iOS, regardless of the official name.
