eliashanzer.com

eliashanzer.com is the online portfolio of Elias Hanzer, a typeface designer, and of the studio hanli. It presents typeface design work and related projects rather than selling products or publishing articles. The site is useful if you want to see what Hanzer has designed, identify a typeface by name, or find a professional contact.

What the site covers

The homepage is a compact index of the designer's output and affiliations. It lists:

• Typefaces and type projects — including HAL Typefaces, Phase, and ABC Arizona.
• Studios and collaborators — hanli (the studio) and Dinamo Typefaces, a type foundry associated with the Arizona release.
• A specimen publication — The Arizona Type Specimen Edition, a printed or designed specimen for the Arizona typeface.
• A separate typeface label — EH Normal.
• Contact and social links — Instagram, email, and a privacy policy.

What kind of site it is

The page reads as a portfolio or index, not a storefront or blog. There are no visible pricing signals, cart, or checkout links, and no article or news section. So you should not expect to buy licences or read editorial content directly here. For purchasing or licensing a typeface, the relevant foundry or typeface label is the place to look — for example, Dinamo Typefaces in the case of ABC Arizona.

How to use it

• To identify a typeface: scan the listed names (HAL Typefaces, Phase, ABC Arizona, EH Normal) and match them against the design you are trying to name.
• To see the designer's range: use the list as a map of projects, then follow the named studios and labels for fuller specimens and technical details.
• To get in touch: the email and Instagram links are the direct routes; the privacy policy indicates the site collects some visitor data.

If your goal is licensing, pricing, or technical font specifications, treat this site as a starting point and continue to the foundry or label pages it references.

The Arizona Type Specimen Edition is a specimen project for the Arizona typeface, listed on eliashanzer.com alongside Dinamo Typefaces. The site presents it as a named project in the same lineup as the studio's other type work, but the page itself does not state its format, contents, price, or how to obtain it. Treat it as a specimen presentation of Arizona rather than a confirmed product listing.

What the site actually shows

The eliashanzer.com homepage is a sparse index of names and projects. The visible text reads, in order: Elias Hanzer, studio hanli, HAL Typefaces, Phase, ABC Arizona, Dinamo Typefaces, The Arizona Type Specimen Edition, Typeface, EH Normal, plus Instagram, mail, and a privacy policy link.

From that list, three things are clear:

• It is grouped with type work. The Arizona Type Specimen Edition sits among typeface names and type-related labels, not in a separate section for writing, art, or client work.
• Arizona is attributed to Dinamo Typefaces. The name "ABC Arizona" appears immediately before "Dinamo Typefaces," which is how the site links the typeface to that foundry.
• It is a distinct, named item. It has its own entry rather than being folded into the Arizona name, which suggests it is a separate presentation of that typeface.

What a "type specimen" means here

A type specimen is a presentation piece built to show how a typeface looks and behaves. Specimens typically demonstrate a typeface across sizes, weights, and settings so a reader can judge its character before using it. The term "edition" usually signals a particular version or release of that presentation.

Applied to this site, The Arizona Type Specimen Edition is best read as the specimen showing for Arizona — the piece that demonstrates the typeface rather than the typeface file itself. That reading fits the page's structure, where typeface names and specimen projects are listed side by side.

How it relates to the rest of the site

The homepage lists several type-related names: studio hanli, HAL Typefaces, Phase, ABC Arizona, and EH Normal. The Arizona Type Specimen Edition is the only entry that pairs a typeface name with the word "specimen," which makes it the page's explicit example of specimen work.

For context on the people and labels involved, see the related questions on the relationship between Elias Hanzer, hanli, and the listed typeface projects, and on which typefaces and projects the site features.

What the page does not confirm

The homepage gives no details beyond the name. It does not state:

• the physical or digital format of the edition
• what is included, or how many pages or styles it covers
• a price, availability, or any purchase or download route
• whether it is for sale, for reference, or portfolio-only

Because the page carries no pricing or ordering signals, do not assume the edition is free, purchasable, or downloadable. If you need those details, the site's contact link (mail) and Instagram are the listed ways to reach the studio; the related question on contacting Elias Hanzer or following the studio online covers that.

Practical takeaway

If you arrived looking for the Arizona typeface itself, the site points you toward Dinamo Typefaces as the foundry associated with ABC Arizona. If you arrived looking for the specimen, the site confirms it exists as a named project but gives you nothing further to act on — the next step is to contact the studio directly rather than expect a product page.

The official site eliashanzer.com lists two direct channels: a mail link and an Instagram link. The same page also names studio hanli alongside Elias Hanzer, so treat hanli as the studio identity tied to the same site. Use the mail link for direct contact and the Instagram link for updates; the page does not publish a separate email address or handle in text, so open the links rather than guessing an address.

What the site actually provides

The homepage is a compact index rather than a contact page. Its visible content includes:

• mail — the contact entry point
• Instagram — the social/update entry point
• privacy policy — a separate linked page
• Project and typeface names: HAL Typefaces, Phase, ABC Arizona, Dinamo Typefaces, The Arizona Type Specimen Edition, Typeface, EH Normal
• The studio name studio hanli

There is no phone number, contact form, physical address, or plain-text email shown in the page content.

How to reach out or follow

1. Open eliashanzer.com.
2. For a direct message, select the mail link. Your email client should open a compose window addressed to the studio; write your inquiry there and send.
3. For updates and a lighter-weight channel, select the Instagram link. This opens the studio's Instagram profile, where you can follow or send a direct message.
4. If you need to reference a specific project, use the names listed on the page (for example Phase or ABC Arizona) so the recipient knows which work you mean.

Expected result: the mail link produces a pre-addressed message, and the Instagram link lands on the studio's profile. If the mail link does nothing, the cause is usually a browser or device with no default mail app configured — in that case, copy the address from the compose window if one appears, or use Instagram instead.

Practical notes

• Do not invent an address. The page shows link labels, not a written email. Anything like info@ or hello@ would be a guess.
• hanli is the studio name, not a second website. The page presents Elias Hanzer and studio hanli together, so correspondence about studio work can go through the same two links.
• Typeface licensing and specimen requests are the most likely reasons to write, given the page's focus on HAL Typefaces, Phase, ABC Arizona, and Dinamo Typefaces. State the typeface and intended use in your first message to save a round trip.
• Check Instagram first for quick questions. If the mail link is inconvenient on mobile, the Instagram profile is the alternate route the site itself offers.

Quick reference

Elias Hanzer is the designer whose name heads the site, hanli is the studio label that appears alongside his name, and the typeface projects listed on the page—including ABC Arizona—are linked to Dinamo Typefaces. The page presents these as connected parts of one practice rather than as separate businesses, so the safest reading is: Hanzer works as a type designer, hanli is the studio identity he publishes under, and at least one of the featured typefaces is associated with Dinamo Typefaces.

The three names and what each one signals

The page does not spell out a formal corporate structure, so treat the table as a map of how the names are presented, not as a legal or contractual description.

How the typeface projects fit in

The site lists several type-related items together: HAL Typefaces, Phase, ABC Arizona, Dinamo Typefaces, The Arizona Type Specimen Edition, Typeface, and EH Normal. These read as a mix of typeface families, specimen editions, and project or label names rather than a single product line.

The clearest link the page supports is between ABC Arizona and Dinamo Typefaces: Arizona appears in the same listing as Dinamo, which is consistent with the typeface being released or represented by that label. The other entries—HAL Typefaces, Phase, EH Normal—are presented as projects without further attribution on the page, so their exact ownership should not be assumed beyond what is shown.

What this means if you are trying to credit or license a typeface

• For attribution: credit Elias Hanzer as the designer and hanli as the studio where the work is published.
• For ABC Arizona specifically: the page points toward Dinamo Typefaces, so licensing or specimen questions about Arizona should start there rather than with Hanzer's site.
• For the remaining projects: the page confirms they exist as part of the portfolio but does not state who distributes them. Check the individual project pages or contact the studio before assuming a foundry.

Where the page stops short

The site does not describe the business relationship between Hanzer and Dinamo, whether hanli is a solo practice or a team, or which typefaces are commercially available versus shown as specimens. If you need those details—for a licensing decision or a credit line—the page itself is not enough; the contact route listed on the site is the appropriate next step.

Elias Hanzer's website presents a portfolio of typeface and design projects rather than a shop. The names shown on the page are HAL Typefaces, Phase, ABC Arizona, EH Normal, and The Arizona Type Specimen Edition, alongside references to Dinamo Typefaces and the studio names studio hanli and Elias Hanzer. The page lists these as projects to view; it does not state licensing, pricing, or where to obtain them.

What the page lists

The site's visible text is essentially a project index. The items that appear are:

• Elias Hanzer — the designer's own name, used as the site identity
• studio hanli — a studio name listed alongside the designer
• HAL Typefaces — a typeface project or label
• Phase — a listed typeface project
• ABC Arizona — a typeface name in Dinamo Typefaces' naming style
• Dinamo Typefaces — a type foundry reference
• The Arizona Type Specimen Edition — a specimen publication or edition tied to Arizona
• EH Normal — a typeface name, likely an abbreviation of the designer's initials
• Typeface — a generic label on the page

The page also links to Instagram and a privacy policy, which are navigation elements rather than type projects.

How the projects relate

The listing suggests two clusters. HAL Typefaces, Phase, and EH Normal read as the designer's own typeface work or labels. ABC Arizona, Dinamo Typefaces, and The Arizona Type Specimen Edition form a second cluster around a single typeface family and its specimen: Arizona appears as an ABC-named release associated with Dinamo Typefaces, and the specimen edition is a presentation of that design.

The page does not explain the exact relationship between the designer and Dinamo, so treat the connection as a listing on the same page rather than a confirmed role such as designer, collaborator, or licensor.

What the page does not tell you

The visible content is a name index, not a catalogue. It gives no information on:

• Whether any typeface is available for licensing or purchase
• Pricing, trial fonts, or download options
• Weights, styles, character sets, or language support
• Release dates or version history

If you need those details, the page itself is not the source; the individual project pages or the foundry's own site would be.

How to use this list

Use the names as search terms and starting points. If you are evaluating typefaces for a project, start with the cluster that matches your interest: the designer's own labels (HAL Typefaces, Phase, EH Normal) or the Arizona family with its specimen edition. From there, check the linked project pages or the foundry reference for the practical details the index omits.
