ARB-218 Neon Blunt MAR-50 Bold Font

ARB-218 Neon Blunt MAR-50 Bold by Fontry West is a free monoline geometric sans serif with tall, spare letterforms. Rounded arches and broad curves soften the squared framework. The even hairline strokes give the capitals a clean technical look.

Futuristic poster titles are its strongest use. Nightclub branding, electronic music artwork, and fashion labels also suit its tube-like construction and restrained space-age styling, especially for younger audiences drawn to retro-futurist graphics.

ARB-218 Big Blunt, originally known as No. 2 Plain Egyptian Blunt Type, was demonstrated by Alf R. Becker for sign painters and letterers in the March 1950 issue of Signs of the Times magazine. The digital version was released exactly 60 years after the font first appeared in print.

The font includes a neon-line effect with optional layers accessible from the font style menu. Stacking the layers produces a multicolor design.
