Description
Designed in 1982 by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders for Monotype Typography, Arial is a sans-serif typeface in the neo-grotesque style. Its design is influenced by Monotype's own Monotype Grotesque designs and Helvetica, making it metrically compatible with the latter. Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and offers an extremely versatile family of typefaces suitable for a wide range of applications.

Best Use Cases

  • Website and app interfaces
  • Editorial design
  • Corporate branding

Usage Instructions

Arial's versatility makes it ideal for various design contexts such as website and app interfaces, editorial designs, and corporate branding. To make the most of its design characteristics, ensure that curves are used to create a more organic and less mechanical appearance.
