## About Arizonia

Arizonia is a connected script with the look of sign painting. Its starting point, according to the official notes, was the lettering on a construction truck, and the strokes behave like those of a pointed brush: heavy on the downstroke, hair-thin on the way back up. In the specimen the lowercase leans steeply and joins in a dense, dark line, while the capitals throw out long swashes, such as the stroke that crosses the A and the tail under the Q. The notes position it for hand-lettered, contemporary and sporty work and warn against capitals-only setting, as with scripts generally. The family is a single Regular style with 652 glyphs in the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets, and it is not a variable font. Robert Leuschke designed it; the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

## Where it works

- **Vehicle and shop lettering**: The design comes from truck lettering, and its heavy brush downstrokes read on a van door or a painted fascia.
- **Sports and team graphics**: A steep slant and long swashes give a team name or event title the speed the official notes call sporty.
- **Wordmarks**: Swash capitals such as A and Q make the first letter of a name the anchor of a logo.
- **Menu and poster headings**: Strong thick-thin contrast stays visible at display sizes above plain text.

## Things to know

- **Not for capitals-only setting**: The swash capitals overlap when set together in the specimen; they are meant to start a lowercase word.
- **One style**: Arizonia is Regular 400 only, with no bold or lighter cut.
- **Latin scripts with Vietnamese**: The 652 glyphs cover the Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese subsets and no other writing system.
