About this typeface:

A font where “each word that’s set approaches becoming its own logo” is how some have described this unique typeface. Originally inspired by an enamel sign he picked up at a Paris flea market, Michael Doret says that the seven letters contained in the sign were enough to suggest to him that here were letterforms put together in a way that he had never seen in a contemporary digital font. Always eager to create something a little out of the ordinary, he took up the challenge to flesh out the forms into a complete font. Orion can be defined as a geometric, connecting script that is at once contemporary, yet classic and timeless.

About the designer:

You’re probably familiar with Michael Doret’s work without even knowing it. If you’ve seen his logo for the NY Knicks or one of his many Time covers then you’re familiar with the power and dynamism he has brought to the art of hand-lettering for many years. But now with the opening of his digital font foundry Alphabet Soup he is excited to have added font design to his list of accomplishments. Check out Doret’s other Alphabet Soup fonts at Veer.

With his letterform/graphic design work Michael is an eight-time winner of the New York Art Directors Club Silver Award. in his unique typographic vision he blends elements of lettering, illustration and graphic design. The inspiration for his work has come from such diverse sources as matchbook covers, theater marquees, enamel signs, early and mid-20th century packaging, and various other artifacts of this great land of ours.
