ARLT is a multi-style typeface system. It pays tribute to the writings of Roberto Arlt, Argentinean writer from early 20th c. who wrote some original novels all of which 'Siete locos' ('Seven Madmen') is maybe the most celebrated piece. The Arlt type family has a Baroque style interpretated 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 colourful, 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!
The Arlt Título fonts were carefully designed to be used in titlings and other display settings. They will look more elegant at big body sizes, above 24 pt.
The Arlt 7 Locos is a sub-family of 7 fonts, resulted of a more relaxed exploration on how to thoroughly destroy a series of carefully designed letterforms. They can be misteriously attractive when used in small text printed over rough quality papers.
Finally Arlt Lanzallamas is the ultimate addition, a crazy font based on a dynamic cycle program which makes the font jump among the 7 Locos fonts each time you type in a character. The lenght of the cycle is determined by the textline. It is exciting to use it in any OpenType-sensitive application. Watch the video below. Have fun.
