What You Can Type With Arco

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Arco is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. Thanks to its accented letters, it also works for Spanish, not just English. On top of that, it includes Cyrillic characters.

Where Arco Works Best

Think of Arco for kids' books, birthday invites and fun YouTube thumbnails. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. Cartoon fonts are great for short, fun lines. If you place it over a busy photo, add a thick outline or a drop shadow so it stays readable.

Arco Font FAQs

Is Arco font free to download?

How do I install Arco on Windows or Mac?

Extract the ZIP file, then open the font file inside it. Click Install on Windows or Install Font on a Mac. The ZIP has both OTF and TTF versions of the same font. Install only one of them (OTF is the better pick for Adobe apps), because installing both can show duplicate names in your font list. Restart any app that was already open so it picks up Arco.
