Author's note

Orient font by Christopher Gamble is a free display font with sharply broken, angular forms that read like letters assembled from separate wedges. The uneven pieces give the typeface a fragmented structure while keeping the overall outline bold and clear.

Orient works well for poster titles, album covers, event graphics, and branding that needs a hard graphic edge. This free font also suits short headlines, logos, and editorial accents because its jagged construction carries enough character to hold attention at larger sizes.

Description
Orient is a simple font I've created mainly for use in headlines. It has all the characters you can see on the keyboard, but nothing extra.
