Arizona: Dinamo Typefaces (2nd Edition)
The second edition of the Arizona Type Specimen is a five-color, split-page, spiral-bound showcase for ABC Dinamo's typeface ABC Arizona.
Designed by Elias Hanzer and released in 2021, ABC Arizona is the first ever sans-to-serif variable font that packages its five looks — Serif, Text, Mix, Flare, and Sans — into one single file. This specimen celebrates Arizona’s countless combinations through its split structure. Mix and match the half pages to discover the typeface family’s vast system.
This 2024 edition includes an updated Pantone color palette, a troupe of animals illustrated by Célestin Krier (which allows readers to create their own hybrid experiments by mix-matching animal bodies and legs), and a caterpillar green spiral binding.
Includes the essay, "Tools and Shapes," by typographer Ferdinand Ulrich which places ABC Arizona in conversation with other sans to serif experiments of the past, including Otl Aicher's Rotis.
