But without further ado, here is the 85th best typeface 85. • Angus R Shamal, 1999/2010 ARS Maquette was designed in 1999 and released in 2001.

It immediately became popular amongst the design community – something the designer Angus R Shamal puts down to 'its clean and stylish simplicity'. ARS Maquette is a sans-serif typeface that shares similarities to Akzidenz-Grotesk, 'by having less stroke contrast with counters that are more open and a design with a relatively plain appearance'. In 2010, Shamal revisited the design of the typeface, 'rehashing those 11 year old drawings and notes to help reevaluate the design and its principals,' he says. The final result of his re-design was a Pro version of the typeface with OpenType features, italics, and wider language support. The 2010 version of ARS Maquette brought a new Display style to the typeface.
