There are no parentheses for 'font' argument in turtle.write() documentation

The doc for the font parameter is:  a triple (fontname, fontsize, fonttype)
but the default value in the signature is:  font='Arial'

I do not know what’s font name vs font type!
Do you know if it’s valid to have font='Arial', in which case the doc should be amended?  or is the default value wrong?  (also not sure if it’s a default value or an example)
