Deca Sans specimen from ParaType

A low-contrast sans-serif designed by Natalia Vasilyeva as part of the Deca super family, pairing with Deca Serif through matched proportions and compatible colour for use in formal documents.

About

Deca Sans forms the sans-serif half of the ten-style Deca super family, with ovals bent toward rectangular shapes and minimal contrast suited to small-size readability. It is explicitly matched in proportion and weight to its serif counterpart, enabling consistent mixed use across scientific, legal and business documents. Six styles cover three weights with italics.

Classification

A low-contrast sans-serif with rectangular ovals, designed as part of a super family alongside Deca Serif. The clean, neutral construction with regularised forms places it within the humanist sans tradition.
