About Scada

Scada is a sans serif family with slightly narrow letters and a tall lowercase. Strokes are close to even in thickness, and many stroke ends are cut at a slant instead of square, which is visible in the specimen on a, c, e and s and gives the face a brisk, drawn quality. The official notes give its history: it was created in 2005 as the identity font of the Latvian studio Scada, the studio chose in 2011 to release it as a libre font, and during six months of work it was revised and grew into a family. The same notes say it is made for small sizes in particular. Four static files exist: Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic. The 524 glyphs cover Latin, Latin Extended and Cyrillic, including the letters for Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian. Jovanny Lemonad is credited as the designer.

Where Scada works

Small interface text

The family was drawn for small sizes, and its tall lowercase keeps labels and menu items readable.

Corporate identities

It began as a studio's own identity font, and Regular plus Bold cover letterheads, cards and presentations.

Sites in Latin and Cyrillic

Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian are set in the same fonts as English, German or Polish.

Captions, tables and footnotes

Slightly narrow letters save space in the smallest text on a page.

Subheads

Bold at moderate sizes separates sections while keeping the same slanted stroke endings.
