Archivo Black specimen from Omnibus-Type

A single-weight black grotesque by Héctor Gatti, drawn from the late nineteenth century American typeface tradition and optimised for headlines across print and digital.

About

Derived from Chivo and related to the broader Archivo family including Archivo Narrow, this typeface focuses entirely on the Black weight for headline and highlight use. Its technical construction is tuned for performance across both print and screen environments. The aesthetic draws on late nineteenth century American grotesques, giving it a historical grounding without pastiche.
