Secca specimen from Astype Fonts

A low-contrast workhorse sans in twelve weights with italics, small caps and figures that keep their width across the whole range.

About

Secca is the foundry's core text family. Nine weights from Thin to UltraBlack plus three hairlines, each with italics and small caps, cover everything from body copy to poster headlines. Tabular figures, fractions and currency signs share one width across every weight, so tables set in Light and Bold line up without fuss.

Classification

Low to medium contrast sans with open apertures and a slight humanist warmth. Small caps, weight-duplexed figures and a very wide weight range put it in the workhorse text sans bracket.
