Orbitron is a geometric sans-serif typeface intended for display purposes.
It features four weights (light, medium, bold, and black), a stylistic
alternative, small caps, and a ton of alternate glyphs.

Orbitron was designed so that graphic designers in the future will have some
alternative to typefaces like Eurostile or Bank Gothic. If you've ever seen
a futuristic sci-fi movie, you have may noticed that all other fonts have
been lost or destroyed in the apocalypse that led humans to flee earth. Only
those very few geometric typefaces have survived to be used on spaceship
exteriors, space station signage, monopolistic corporate branding, uniforms
featuring aerodynamic shoulder pads, etc. Of course Orbitron could also be
used on the posters for the movies portraying this inevitable future.
