Arizona
Dinamo Typefaces · Elias Hanzer with Alex Lescieux
A variable superfamily by Elias Hanzer and Alex Lescieux that packages five stylistic registers — from high-contrast serif to humanist grotesque — into a single font file.
About
Arizona runs from a high-contrast, Renaissance-inflected serif at one extreme to a clean grotesque sans at the other, with Flare, Mix and Text occupying the hybrid territory between them. Each of the five sub-families comes in three widths and five weights with italics throughout, all housed in a single variable font file. The family has been used by the San Francisco Symphony, Glyphs and the Fashion Research Library, covering a range from fine editorial typesetting to large-scale display work.
Classification
Arizona spans five stylistic sub-families from high-contrast Renaissance-influenced serif to humanist grotesque sans, making it genuinely cross-categorical; classified here as serif because that marks one pole of its design range, though it is most accurately a superfamily variable font.
