Arlt

The Arlt type family pays tribute to the writings of Roberto Arlt, Argentinian writer from early 20th century who wrote some original novels, all of which ‘Siete locos’ (‘Seven Madmen’) is the most celebrated piece.

Arlt has a Baroque style interpreted with an expressionist, more contemporary flair. This means the type is full of intense contrasts and vivid, expressive feelings. The italics make a specially dynamic rhythm on text.

The Arlt text fonts come in four weights including roman, italics, and small caps. They offer a spicy though comfortable immerse reading. They are ideal for literature books, specially for suspense novels and sordid stories of the underworld. Its use under other circumstances may be dangerous!

Arlt text was prized by the Creative Review type design contest, London 2006, and later the complete Arlt family was one of the Typographica Favorite Typefaces of 2008.
