Designer: Jim Parkinson
Publisher: Parkinson
Azuza was designed by Jim Parkinson and published by Parkinson.
Azuza contains 6 styles and family package options.
In the 1990s I drew a text face for the San Francisco Chronicle. It was based on W. A. Dwiggins' Electra and incorporated many features of the Linotype Legibility Series: More compact, with a taller lowercase X-height, etc. That type was called Electric and it was the Chronicle's text face for nearly a decade, surviving several redesigns. From that, I made
Azuza, a more detailed and sensitive style.
Azuza was recognized in the TDC2 type competition in 2001. Then it went into hibernation as a Type 1 font family. Today it is back. Six fonts. Open Type.
