  We prove that Artin groups from a class containing all large-type Artin
groups are systolic. This provides a concise yet precise description of their
geometry. Immediate consequences are new results concerning large-type Artin
groups: biautomaticity; existence of $EZ$-boundaries; the Novikov conjecture;
descriptions of finitely presented subgroups, of virtually solvable subgroups,
and of centralizers for infinite order elements; the Burghelea conjecture;
existence of low-dimensional models for classifying spaces for some families of
subgroups.
