Arsenal stands out as a semi-grotesque typeface that combines traditional forms with modern sensibilities. Designed primarily for body text, it serves as an effective tool for professional visual communication. The typeface exhibits unique qualities, including subtle contrast modulation that adds grace and expressivity to the letter shapes.
You will notice that Arsenal's narrow proportions allow for economical typesetting, making it an efficient choice for various layouts. Its moderate aperture and observable contrast contribute to its notable traits of neutrality, clarity, and swiftness. These characteristics make it a versatile option for different types of projects.
In 2011, Arsenal gained recognition by winning the Ukrainian Type Design Competition, Mystetsky Arsenal. The judges valued designs that resonated with contemporary trends while maintaining practicality and a distinctly Ukrainian feel. Andrij's entry, aptly named Arsenal, was released under the SIL Open Font License, making it accessible for widespread use.
