Maxitype | Selecta

Selecta is a highly legible sans-serif designed by Maximage (Daniel Haettenschwiller) after years of research into the “grotesque” genre. The designer selected the best details from a wide selection of historical and modern sans-serif typefaces and made them his own, focusing notably on the legibility and personality of the typeface. Selecta is composed of 6 weights ranging from Thin to Black with Italics and is also available as a variable font. The fixed width across all styles and its large range of icons make it perfect for both print and digital applications, such as interface and app design.

The printed Selecta type specimen—designed in 2022 by Giliane Cachin for Maxitype—contains an essay by Jonas Berthog, a study and visual diagrams of influential sans-serif typefaces by other designers and font retailers. [publishers’ note]
