Arachnology font family


Designed by  Omar Sacca in 2022

If you're looking for a sci-fi inspired, retro-futuristic display font with limitless applications, look no further than Arachnology.


Arachnology is a stylish, confident, and versatile display font inspired by the neo-futuristic graphic design movements of the late 90's & early 2000's; and takes cues from the extremely prevalent Japanese and European design influence of that time period. All while refreshing it for a new generation of creatives.


Featuring an extensive set of Western alphabetical characters, numbers, special characters, and punctuation; Arachnology includes everything creatives (professional and hobbyist alike) demand from a modern, creative display font.


"Arachnology Standard" provides highly-stylized glyphs, apt spacing, weight, and contrast for high legibility in any use-case! "Arachnology Heavy Titling" provides all those benefits, with an additional feature! All its characters (both upper and lowercase) share a single height. Experiment with mixing upper and lowercase glyphs to find the combination that best suits your titles, and especially your personal taste!

Features

Kerning

Tag: kern

Function: Adjusts amount of space between glyphs, generally to provide optically consistent spacing between glyphs. Although a well-designed typeface has consistent inter-glyph spacing overall, some glyph combinations require adjustment for improved legibility. Besides standard adjustment in the horizontal direction, this feature can supply size-dependent kerning data via device tables, "cross-stream" kerning in the Y text direction, and adjustment of glyph placement independent of the advance adjustment. Note that this feature may apply to runs of more than two glyphs, and would not be used in monospaced fonts. Also note that this feature does not apply to text set vertically. The o is shifted closer to the T in the combination "To."
