Description
The Arizona Type Specimen is a five color, split-page, spiral-bound showcase of ABC Arizona. Designed by Elias Hanzer, 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, a translation of Variable Font technology to the world of printed matter, celebrates Arizona’s countless combinations through its split structure. You can mix and match the half pages to discover the typeface family’s vast system.
