Arges

From single heavy tool to 24-style superfamily

Arges is a display and headline type family designed by Matthieu Salvaggio and released in 2019. Conceived initially as a heavy display tool, it was completely rethought between 2018 and 2019 into a 24-style superfamily spanning Normal and Condensed widths with matching obliques. The family supports Latin European languages and is available in TTF, WOFF, WOFF2, and variable font formats.

Insights

The project began as a heavy display font-tool before being entirely reconceived as a superfamily during a 2018–2019 redesign.
The 24 styles are organized across two widths—Normal and Condensed—each with matching obliques, and the family includes weights intended for various text sizes and layouts.
