Author's note

Orthogon by Stefan Motzigemba is a free geometric dingbat font built from slender upright rules and small cross-shaped marks. Its spare, modular forms have the exactness of drafting symbols, with consistent line weight and crisp right-angle construction.

Technology brands and architecture studios can use these symbols to develop logos, pattern systems, and wayfinding graphics with a measured, technical tone. They also suit electronic music posters and album packaging, where the marks can function as diagram-like ornament. Across these uses, the link is an interest in grids, coordinates, and constructed space.
