About
Released in 2011, Merced offers a fresh take on the sans-serif with rounded, informal strokes that give it a distinctly playful character. The family ships in two styles — Light and Light Italic — and its primary appeal lies in its alternate glyphs, which allow for considerable variation across words and passages. Language support covers a broad range of Latin-based scripts including Central European, Baltic, Turkish, Romanian and Pan Africa Latin.
Classification
A sans-serif with curly, organic letterforms and a variety of alternates, suggesting a humanist influence with expressive, informal qualities.
