Azuza was developed by Jim Parkinson and released by Parkinson.
Azuza contains 6 styles and household bundle choices. p > In the 1990s I drew a text face for the San Francisco Chronicle. It was based upon W. A. Dwiggins' Electra and included lots of 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 almost a decade, making it through several redesigns. From that, I made
Azuza, a more detailed and sensitive design.
Azuza was acknowledged in the TDC2 type competitors in 2001. Then it went into hibernation as a Type 1 font style family. Today it is back. 6 typefaces. Open Type.
