Arialnormal Opentype Truetype Version 701 Western ((exclusive)) -

The descriptor "Arial" refers to the sans-serif typeface designed in 1982 by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders for Monotype. Originally tasked with creating a font that was metrically identical to Helvetica—so that IBM could avoid licensing fees while ensuring documents remained compatible—Arial became the de facto standard for the Windows operating system. Unlike its Swiss inspiration, Arial possesses distinct characteristics: slightly rounder bowls and diagonally cut terminals on letters like 'a', 'c', 'e', and 's'. While purists often argue over the aesthetic superiority of Helvetica, Arial’s utilitarian design allowed it to become the workhorse of the digital office environment.
