Hi,
I try to reproduce the figure as faithfully as possible. I tried for the
rounded corners to put the key corner = round, but it does not work.
Thanks for your help.

1. To create a new framed-instance you need \defineframe, \setupframed
isn't enough to set the values.
I guess you assumed this works similar to xtables but this mechanism
sets a few values to assure \setupxtable is enough in certain cases but
even here you need \definextable in certain cases.
When you create a new instance you have to use the name of the new
instance as command name, e.g. \frameletter or use the \placeframed
command which takes the name as argument, e.g. \placeframed[frameletter].
2. You can't pass the name of a framed-instance to \framed (backwards
compatibility, performance ...), this is only possible with \startframed.
3. ConTeXt uses different mechanism to draw rectangular (unless you draw
a closed frame) and rounded frame and the mechanism for rounded frames
doesn't work with outlinetext.
4. To achieve the desired result you can now a) use MetaPost to draw the
complete card (letter plus frame) or b) use only TeX to put the letter
in a frame and rotate it.
%%%% begin tex example
\usecolors[svg]
\defineframed
[frameletter]
[width=1.25em,
height=1.75em,
foregroundstyle=\ssbfc,
corner=round,
radius=0.1\bodyfontsize,
rulethickness=1pt]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=\linewidth]
\dontleavehmode
\rotate [rotation=5] {\color[darkred] {\frameletter{A}}}
\rotate [rotation=-5]{\color[green] {\frameletter{L}}}
\rotate [rotation=5] {\color[mediumblue]{\frameletter{E}}}
\rotate [rotation=-5]{\color[darkviolet]{\frameletter{A}}}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
%%%% end tex example

Nice Example and good explanation, Wolfgang. But why did you use the command
"dontleavehmode"? It doesn't seem to be necessary in this example.

I wrote the example without TeXpage where I needed \doneleavehmode to
keep all cards on the same line. At the end I just added TeXpage to
create a cropped image with with a small border and forgot to remove it.

Hi Wolfgang,
Thank you very much ; as usual your explanations are always clear and your
approach to the problem intelligent and original. I would however like to
know the way in which we can use the command \frameletter except for the
rounded corners with outlinetext. For example, this doesn't work.
\startMPcode
draw outlinetext.f
("\frameletter{A}")
(withcolor darkred withpen pencircle scaled 1/10)
rotated 5 xsized 2cm ;
\stopMPcode

Take a look at the log-file and you should see a line like this:
%%%% begin error message
tex error > tex error on line 8 in file ./test.tex: ! Undefined
control sequence
<argument> \par draw outlinetext.f ("\frameletter
%%%% end error message
As the error message tells you the command \frameletter doesn't exist,
you can fix this with \defineframed[frameletter]
%%%% begin example
\defineframed [frameletter]
\starttext
\startMPcode
draw outlinetext.f
("\frameletter{A}")
(withcolor darkred withpen pencircle scaled 1/10)
rotated 5 xsized 2cm ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext
%%%% end example
