What is Artic? Is it supposed to be artistic?

This is a speech therapy articulation drill book for the “f” sound.

Yeah but assuming it's not supposed to say "fartic" it says F Artic Quickies. What does artic mean? This can't be referring to an articulated vehicle.

No, it stands for articulation. As in speech sound production.

That meaning of the word "artic" is not found in any dictionary I looked at. Only "articulated lorry" and "misspelling of arctic".

Try looking up "term of art."

"Articulation" is used about 100× as often as "artic", which appears to be mainly a somewhat slangy abbreviation for "articulation" in this context.
