Archivo is a grotesque sans serif typeface designed by Héctor Gatti [1] and released in 2012. It is available on the Omnibus Type website. In 2016, it received an award at the Tipos Latinos Latin American typeface design competition.[2] Archivo has two main variants, Archivo Narrow and Archivo Black.

Archivo Narrow is a condensed version of the original, better for compact spaces like headlines. Archivo Black is thicker and has a more prominent appearance. The Archivo font family has a classic style similar of fonts from the 1800s. In 2021, it was updated to become a variable font,[3] allowing it to vary in thickness and width.

Archivo supports a lot of file formats, it also contains 641 glyphs and supports up to 200 languages,[4] making it suitable for both print and online usage. Also, it is an open-source font,[5] meaning one can freely use it without attribution or licensing fees for personal or commercial projects. You can also download it from GitHub,[6] Google Fonts,[7] and other sources online.
