Arizona’s Design Space

Overview

ABC Arizona is a superfamily with 5 genres and 150 styles, split between 3 widths:

• Arizona
• Arizona Condensed
• Arizona Compressed

Each comes with Thin, Light, Regular, Medium, and Bold weights, plus Italics.

Five in One

The whole idea about Arizona is that it merges five genres into a single unified, family, organized into five subfamilies: Serif, Text, Mix, Flare, and Sans.

Sans -> Serif

Within each width, you can move seamlessly between sans and serif across five distinct genres: Sans, Flare, Mix, Text, and Serif.

So within the Condensed width, you have:

• Arizona Sans Condensed
• Arizona Flare Condensed
• Arizona Mix Condensed
• Arizona Text Condensed
• Arizona Serif Condensed

Same goes for the Compressed width:

• Arizona Sans Compressed
• Arizona Flare Compressed
• Arizona Mix Compressed
• Arizona Text Compressed
• Arizona Serif Compressed

The Variable Fonts

As the design space is very large, and you might not need all of it, we organized different sections of Arizona into different variable font files. There are four tiers.

Superfamily
This package contains e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g aka has the entire designspace in one file. It covers all four variable axes: weight (wght), slant (slnt), serif (SRFF), and width (wdth). We offer this package as a trial font, so you can discover the entire range and decide which axes you actually need.

Multi-width VFs
All three widths at a fixed genre position:

• ABC Arizona Sans Width Variable
• ABC Arizona Flare Width Variable
• ABC Arizona Mix Width Variable
• ABC Arizona Text Width Variable
• ABC Arizona Serif Width Variable.

Variable axes:
weight (wght), slant (slnt), and width (wdth).

Individual VFs
One genre at a fixed width, for example:

• ABC Arizona Flare Variable
• ABC Arizona Flare Condensed Variable
• ABC Arizona Flare Compressed Variable

Variable axes:
weight (wght) and slant (slnt).

Missing ABC Arizona Plus Variable?

We renamed all “Plus” files across the Dinamo library to “Superfamily”. It felt like a clearer name that says what the file actually is: the full design space in one file. ABC Arizona Plus Variable is now ABC Arizona Superfamily Variable.
