Arno was released in five optical sizes: separate fonts for different text sizes from captions to headings. In addition, Arno contains alternate letter styles such as swash italics inspired by Renaissance calligraphy. Other supported OpenType features include proportional and tabular numbers, old style figures, subscripts and superscripts, and ordinals.[5][6]
The font family is a multi-purpose type suitable for book design, inspired by the calligraphically-inspired humanistic types of the Italian Renaissance. Slimbach described his goal as giving it "a tangible style" to be "as readable as possible".[5]
Receptionedit
Arno has received positive reviews. Reviewing the font for Typographica, designer Mark Simonson described it as "nicely sturdy" for body text and highlighted the sophistication of its italic alternate programming, noting that when enabled Arno "almost becomes a different typeface".[6] Font expert Stephen Coles compared it to Requiem.[7] Designer and calligrapher Paul Shaw suggested that its design represents a different, more "lively" approach to the neutral-looking Minion, and "yet not as loose and carefree as Brioso."[8]
In 2011, the American Chemical Society began using Arno Pro for the body text of several of its journals, including the flagship Journal of the American Chemical Society after decades of using Times Roman.[9]
