arial

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'song close to baptismal font' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'song close to baptismal' is the wordplay.
'song' becomes 'aria' (piece of music in an opera).
'close to' says to take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The final letter of 'baptismal' is 'l'.
'aria'+'l'='ARIAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for arial that I've seen is " Common typeface".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
