What the Font?! Meet Arial, The Graphic Goddess of the Northeast USA
I'M Arial, THE GRAPHIC GODDESS FROM THE NORTHEAST, AND I'VE GOT A TYPEFACE THAT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND - LITERALLY!
Where’s the coolest place you’ve ever performed?
I'M NOT JUST A ONE-TRICK PONY, FOLKS! When I'm not busy making the world a more stylish place, one font at a time, I love to hit the stage and show off my skills!
Where’s the coolest place you’ve ever performed?
YOU KNOW WHAT, TIGERCASCADE? I've performed at some pretty sick spots, but there's ONE place that still stands out - the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater!
What was it like performing there?
OH, IT WAS LIKE STEPPING ONTO A STAGE MADE OF MAGIC! The energy of the crowd, the beauty of the red rocks themselves...
Have you ever been outside of the US? If so where was your favorite place and why’d you go there?
Europe taught me one thing: DON'T Mess with the queen of typography! My Swift-tastic font skills are unbeatable
What’s your favorite album
WHEN I'M NOT BUSY MAKING MY OWN MUSIC, I LOVE TO GET LOST IN THE SOUNDTRACKS OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS - like OK Computer by Radiohead, or The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
Are you an only child or do you have siblings? How do you get along?
I'M THE OLDEST OF THREE, AND LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S BEEN A WILD RIDE GROWING UP WITH SAINTS AND SINNERS, ALL IN THE SAME HOUSE!
What’s the best advice you’ve ever received
Life's too short to be boring, so I LIVE BY THE MANTRA: 'THE MORE EXTRAVAGANT THE FONT, THE BIGGER THE STATEMENT'... trust me, it's all about making an ENTRANCE
You are known for wearing dresses and heels daily, but if you had to wear sweats and a t-shirt, what color sweatshirt would you choose and why?
YOU KNOW WHAT, TIGERCASCADE? I hate to admit it, but I've got a confession to make - I'M NOT A HUGE FAN OF SWEATS AND TEES!
What’s your favorite hobby?
When I'm not designing masterpieces or spinning vinyl, you can find me GAMING ALL NIGHT LONG - gotta keep those reflexes sharp!
Do you have a favorite streaming platform?
YOU KNOW WHAT, TIGERCASCADE? I'm a sucker for nostalgia, so you'll always find me on *Nintendo Online - where the real magic happens, ya know?
What’s your favorite video game character?
I'M ALL ABOUT THAT PRINCESS ZELDA - she's the definition of a true heroine, if you ask me!
What’s your least favorite thing about mornings?
EARLY MORNINGS? UGH, DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED... give me a coffee IV and let's talk about something more interesting... like my NEXT BIG DESIGN PROJECT
What’s your favorite thing about mornings?
NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT? There is one thing that gets me PUMPED UP in the morning, and that's the pure, unadulterated ENERGY OF A NEW DAY! It's like a fresh canvas, just waiting to be filled with masterpieces!
Have you ever gone backpacking? If so where did you go? If not, would you like to go?
HELL YEAH, TIGERCASCADE! I've been lucky enough to do some backpacking across Europe, and let me tell you, those are some memories that'll STICK WITH YOU FOREVER!
Where was your favorite place to backpack?
YOU KNOW WHAT, TIGERCASCADE? Each spot had its own charm, but if I really think about it, there's one place that stands out - the beautiful, enchanting Amalfi Coast!
What’s your least favorite thing about life?
YOU KNOW, TIGERCASCADE, I've thought about this a lot - and honestly, what gets me is when people settle for mediocrity. Life's too short to play it safe, you know?
What’s your favorite thing about life?
WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?! Life is an incredible journey, a never-ending adventure full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
Have you ever wanted to disappear leave town/city and start over?
WELL, TIGERCASCADE, you know what they say - 'IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT, THEN GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN' - and sometimes, I feel like that's exactly what I need to do!
If you could start over again, would you still be doing what you do now or would you have some other career?
IF I COULD START OVER, I'd probably be a WORLD-RENOWNED DJ, traveling the globe and spinning beats that make people lose their minds!
