Rounded ends on every stroke are what you notice first in Quicksand. Andrew Paglinawan started it in 2008 with geometric shapes for a skeleton, meant for display sizes yet clear enough to read small. In 2016 Thomas Jockin went through the whole family with him and tidied it up, and Mirko Velimirovic made it variable in 2019.

This build has 1 weight, the Regular, recompiled by Rahul Gajjar. It still carries a slashed zero, fractions and a stylistic set, and Vietnamese is covered.

A juice bar logo or the onboarding screens of an app would suit it. For emphasis you will need a second weight from elsewhere.
