Overview
Arial Nova is a subtle redesign of the classic Arial family. Like Arial, Arial Nova is a sturdy sans serif with a no-nonsense style and a range of weights and widths, suitable for document paragraphs and headings. But where Arial was constrained by the technical needs of typesetting in the 1980s, Arial Nova is free of those constraints. These fonts are designed for European languages written with Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts. Arial Nova font family was introduced as part of the Windows 10 Pan-European Supplemental Fonts package.
Arial Nova takes the design back to its roots. Character spacing has been adjusted and a number of understated modifications were made to the design, which means that it will not match the spacing of Arial. The result is a smoother, more elegant typeface that still retains its robust industrial qualities, and that works even better in extended text.
Robin Nicholas of Monotype designed the original Arial, based on even earlier Monotype sans serif typefaces; later, with Patricia Saunders of the Monotype drawing office, Nicholas modified Arial to become one of the Windows core font families. For Windows 10 in 2015, he returned to the design in order to bring back some of its lost characteristics and bring it up to date.
