Arimo

Arimo is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Steve Matteson with metric compatibility to Arial, making it a reliable workhorse rather than a design statement. Its letterforms are clean and open, with moderate stroke contrast and well-proportioned spacing that holds up at small sizes as well as larger display settings. The overall personality is neutral and professional without being sterile, sitting comfortably in the same space as other system-friendly grotesques. It reads efficiently on screen across a wide range of resolutions, which is exactly what it was built for.

Because of its legibility and metrically compatible design, Arimo works well in enterprise and productivity software interfaces where clarity and familiarity matter more than personality. It is a practical choice for document-heavy web applications, dashboards, or internal tools where users need to process information quickly. It also fits comfortably in editorial layouts for news or content-driven websites where the body copy needs to stay out of the way and let the content lead.
