Selecta specimen from Typogama

A condensed sans-serif by Michael Parson with open apertures and distinctive letterforms, designed to function across both small text and display settings.

About

Released in December 2006, Selecta pairs a narrow, condensed structure with open counters and original glyph forms that maintain legibility at small sizes. The family covers four styles — Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic — with ISO Latin-1 language support spanning over two dozen languages. Its versatility across body text and display contexts makes it a practical choice for compact typesetting.

Classification
