Arcane - 2022
Regular
Arcane is a display typeface created from the unconventional approach of carving away parts of the classic font Helvetica using Adobe Illustrator’s Knife tool. This font subverts the standardization of design and norms embodied in a classic sans serif, resulting in combination of organic and sharp letterforms.
The typeface is a result of an experiment of subverting the conventional sans serif typeface Helvetica using digital tools like Adobe Illustrator’s Knife tool to carve away parts of the font body to create a distinct typeface.
The cutting of forms enhances the interplay of positive and negative space, activating the edge of each character, and creating an interaction between the font body and its surroundings.
With its strong presence, this display font is perfect for titles and slogans that demand attention and subvert conventions through rebellious designs in the form of posters and logotypes.
