The History: Why does it exist?
Arial was originally designed in 1982. It became famous because it was chosen by Microsoft as a cheaper alternative to Helvetica, which was the standard font at the time but required licensing fees. Arial was metrically identical to Helvetica, meaning it took up the exact same amount of space on a line.
Baseball cards, Pokémon cards, and trading card games (TCGs) use small-to-medium text for rules, but for card titles and attack names, they use heavy fonts. Arial 20 Black (reduced slightly in print due to DPI) provides the bold, gamey aesthetic often found on modern card layouts. It pairs well with metallic foils and holographic backgrounds because the thick letters don't break apart.
