Questa Sans specimen from The Questa Project

Questa with its serifs chopped off, a sans that keeps the serif's classical bones.

About

Questa Sans was made by cutting the serifs off Questa and reducing the contrast, and the designers say they did not care whether the result was beautiful. It came out with an unusual, slightly old-fashioned character that recalls the first sans serifs of the early 1800s. It pairs with the rest of the system without effort; the Regular is free and the other nine styles are sold.

Classification

Sans made by cutting the serifs off Questa and lowering the contrast, so it keeps the serif's Didone-derived skeleton and proportions. Echoes the early nineteenth-century step from classicist serifs to the first sans serifs.
