Über die Familie


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 typeface was called Electric — the Chronicle’s text face for nearly a decade, surviving several redesigns. Azuza is in the same vein but a more detailed and sensitive style. The TDC2 type competition recognized Azuza in 2001.
