About Fresca
Fresca is a display typeface with the skeleton of a narrow sans serif and the looseness of hand lettering. Stems flare a little towards their ends, stroke endings are softly rounded, and capitals such as A and F lean slightly off the vertical. The a is double-storey, the g single-storey, and the at sign is reduced to a small a inside an open curl. The official notes call it a friendly face for display use and an alternative where a comic style would otherwise be chosen. Fresca has one Regular style and is not a variable font; its 275 glyphs cover basic Latin. The family is credited to Fontstage, and the name table names Iván Moreno as designer. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
Where Fresca works

- Narrow letters with flared, slightly irregular stems give a title a friendly voice without full comic lettering.
- Speech bubbles and captions
- The official notes position Fresca as an alternative for comic settings, where short lines are the norm.
- Snack and drink packaging
- A product name in the single Regular style looks hand-lettered but stays tidy on a label.
- School and community flyers
- Compact letter widths fit an event title and a date into a small sheet.
