Arclin

You can find Arclin everywhere. Their technologies make your homes and cars safe, your foods and fields grow, your water clean, and your pharmaceuticals heal. Sparked by recent acquisitions, Arclin sought to move their reputation from a chemical and applications company to a global brand that develops mission-critical technologies the world can’t live without.

Stellage Display was chosen as the brand’s primary headline font for it’s sharp, cutting-edge qualities.

Lastly, General Grotesque Mono furthers that technicality and nod to precision, rounding out Arclin’s type palette.
