Arial Font sometimes marketed or displayed in software such as Arial MT, is a sans-serif typeface and a set of computer fonts in the neo-grotesque style. The Arial family fonts are packaged with all versions of Microsoft Windows from Windows 3.1 onwards, some other software applications from Microsoft, macOS from Apple, and many PostScript 3 computer printers. The typeface was designed in 1982, by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders, for Monotype Typography. It was created to be metrically identical to the popular Helvetica typeface, with all character widths identical, so that a document designed in Helvetica could be displayed and printed correctly without having to pay for a Helvetica license.
Arial typeface comprises many styles: Regular, Italic, Medium, Medium Italic, Bold, Italic Bold, Black, Italic Black, Extra Bold, Italic Extra Bold, Light, Italic Light, Narrow, Narrow Italic, Narrow Bold, Narrow Bold Italic, Condensed, Lightly Condensed, Bold Condensed, and Extra Bold Condensed. The expanded Arial type family includes more styles: Rounded (Light, Regular, Bold, Extra Bold) and monospaced (regular, oblique, bold, oblique). Many of these have been published in multiple font configurations with varying degrees of language support. The most widely used and packaged Arial fonts are Arial Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic; the same styles as Arial Narrow; and Arial Black. More recently, Arial Rounded has also been included extensively.
In Office 2007, Arial was replaced by Calibri as the default font in PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and Word.
