Orthotopes, designed by Rob Barba of Megami Studios, is a free techno display font built from weighty, modular shapes. Rounded outer corners soften the squared construction. Narrow slots, stepped cutouts, and puzzle-like joins give the letters a machined yet playful profile.
Designers working in game, toy, and digital entertainment markets can use it for title cards, packaging, and promotional graphics with a chunky futuristic edge. Those applications share a need for lettering that can double as a compact geometric emblem, especially beside robots, circuitry, or block-based illustration.
Orthotopes is reminiscent of that ever-familiar 70's style sci-fi font whose name I cannot recall and probably doesn't look a thing like this anyway. ^_^;;;
If you do use it, drop me a line at rob@megamistudios.com. I'd like to see where it pops up!
