The output of the secondary of any transformer is AC. What happens between the secondary winding and the output terminals is a different question. There may be nothing other than wire, in which case the output will be AC, there may be a single diode, in which case the output will be DC pulses with o volts between them, there may be a bridge of diodes, which will give a rough, unsmoothed DC output, or there may be other components included, which will give a smooth DC output.
