Author's note

Voltaire by Sorkin Type Co is a free narrow sans serif with tall, sharply cut letterforms. Broad verticals shift into fine diagonals and tapered curves, giving the alphabet an angular, slightly theatrical profile.

Independent theaters and arts venues could use its distinctive silhouette for branding, posters, and event programs. The compact proportions suit book covers and magazine pages, especially when a design needs a period hint without copying historical type. In venue graphics, the lettering can become part of a painted marquee or sign rather than simple supporting text.
