| 2 | screen and print. The family includes 4 cuts: Roman, Italic, |
| 3 | Roman Bold, Bold Italic. It is a libre font, first published |
| 4 | in Google Fonts. The flavour of the font is rather mixed. Its |
| 5 | monolinear-ish, but has a tiny bit of contrast (which |
| 6 | increases the legibility a little in Mac OS X.) |
| 7 | |
| 8 | The name Arvo is a typical Estonian man's name, but is not |
| 9 | widely used today. In the Finnish language, Arvo means |
| 10 | "number, value, worth." Considering how much programming is |
| 11 | involved in hinting, all these meanings are true. |
