Arial Greek

Arial Greek font.

Arial Greek is a Regular TrueType font for previewing Greek text in a familiar Arial-style sans serif design. It is useful when you want a clean, practical Greek type sample without decorative styling.

About Arial Greek

Arial is described by Microsoft as a contemporary sans serif with softer, fuller curves and diagonally cut terminal strokes, giving it a less mechanical look than many older industrial sans serif faces. Arial Greek follows that practical direction for Greek script, so it works best when the goal is clear reading rather than a distinctive display personality.

Use the preview box to test real Greek words, accents, punctuation, numbers, and mixed Latin-Greek text. The Regular weight is best suited to simple headings, interface mockups, reference samples, school materials, and short body text tests. For long reading, compare spacing and line height carefully, especially at smaller sizes, because a familiar sans serif can still feel tight depending on the layout.

Usage Tips

Install or preview the TTF only for testing if your rights allow it. For production work, confirm the license that came with your software or purchase the correct license from an authorized source. If you need a freely licensed Greek sans serif, compare properly licensed alternatives rather than assuming Arial Greek can be redistributed.
