ITC Orbon is the work of New York designer James Montalbano, inspired in part by a demo of black letter calligraphy in which letters were created out of only four or five basic strokes. “I combined that idea with the notion of taking historical forms like German gothic blackletter and progressively paring them down to achieve a futuristic version, as if this old form naturally evolved over several hunred years to arrive at its post-modern incarnation.” Text should be set in point sizes of 20 and higher for optimal legibility. ITC Orbon is a highly condensed typeface with unique, oblong shapes which are ideal for a number of display applications.
